Believe me, we'd LOVE to do a full release, but we cannot until >USL gives us the go-ahead. On the most positive side, it could be a >week or two. On the most negative, it could kill 1.1 entirely, Why do we need the "go-ahead" from USL ????? Net-2 is still available from most FTP sites which had it previously. If anything then USL might hassle those sites. {Free,Net}BSD have evolved so far from the original Net-2 that USL couldn't get a handle at us anyway. What could they do anyway - take away my PC ? If USL can hassle US FTP sites. Why don't we just set up a site outside of the US ? Does anybody (apart from USL) know what bits of Net-2 they claim is theirs ? If yes please let us know. A few days and we should be able to rewrite the few routines. >causing us to wait for the 4.4 lite tape to be released so that we can >reengineer the bits in dispute.
