Sorry... What I mean to say is, does this mean that 386BSD is no longer under the same copyright? Does it mean that I can't take 386BSD off the CD and give it to my friends (legally)? If so, I understand that Bill & Lynne have done lots of work and would like to be rewarded for it, but they should think about how much they are benefiting the BSD *community* as they seemed to at the beginning. Also, we already have BSDI for commercial BSD. I don't fault other vendors for trying to enter the game, but how much support is $99 realistically going to get me? Just some thoughts, Chris PS - The rep on the 800 number had no idea about its copyright status. :-<
