Hi

I was just reading a thread in the comp.unix.bsd group entitled "cost
of 4.4BSD".  In this article it stated the old news about there being
two versions of 4.4 to be released, Encumbered and Lite.  What surprised
me was the assertion that the 4.4 Lite version was under lawsuit attack
by USL.  Is this old news or new news?  I thought that the 4.4 BSD Lite
distribution was being readied, and the legal issues resolved.
