It seems that any NET/2 derived work is affected. From the above
quote it appears that continued distribution of full NET/2 source
is not allowed, and that BSDI will have to distribute portions in
binary form until it can substitute the agreed upon portions of
4.4(Lite). I guess that the big question of interest is exactly
what portions of NET/2 are not freely distributable.
