There was a MASSIVE discussion about this when the group was created. A lot
of people wanted it to be comp.os.bsd... simply because we didn't know what
USL's hot and juicy lawyers would do. Who the hell expected them to sue
Berkeley, after all?

As it turned out they were too busy arranging Musical Parent Companies, but
we didn't know that...
