   Sorry but this is not true and I HAVE checked the code.  

You have yet to prove my statement wrong, Paul.  I said there is no
encumbered code in NetBSD 1.0, and I meant it.  The fact that there
are still files in there from Net/2 is *not* relevant.  Perhaps you
don't understand the legal issues, but I do, and I'm not going to
discuss them on Usenet.
