Please stop posting this disinformation. There is no such thing as "legally encumbered" since no decision was made in the USL court case. >They maybe identical with the 4.4lite files in EVERY other >way but the fact that they are Net/2 files means they're encumbered, period. Once again I find it disgusting that people who should be supporting free unix are doing USL's lawyers' jobs for them. The idea that USL has some right to control a file just because it was part of Net/2 is an absurd one, and you shouldn't be lending it respectability. Just whose side are you on? Did you do some secret deal with USL to post this propaganda? -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, HCRC, Edinburgh University R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk Ooooh! I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
