Is there any chance that IBM will release the source code for the BSD port?
IBM no longer has any financial interest in keeping it restricted (as far as
I can tell; both the RT and AIX v2 are dead products).  If the source were
released it could probably be integrated into the BSD release (a port to 4.3
reno has already been done; but the VM interface will change for BSD 4.4)
