   : Are there going to be any legal problems with 1.1.5?  I had heard that 
   : nobody was going to release it on CD-ROM.

This is true, but not because of legal problems.  There simply isn't enough
time to do a 1.1.5 CD and still beat the July 31st deadline!  Perhaps WC
will pull a rabbit out of the hat and prove me wrong, but I somehow rather
doubt it.  I'm only rolling the 1.1.5A release _now_!  (Sorry for the delay,
folks, a trip to California intervened!).

   The FreeBSD team has authorizations from USL about that I think... 1.1.5 will be
   available on CD-ROM (remember, freebsd and freefall are in the cdrom.com domain
   :-) ).

Sorry, but that's simply not the case.  It'll be available on the net,
that's about it.
