|Since this *IS* comp.unix.bsd, and now the 386BSD crowd has left
|(but hopefully most of you are still reading this)
|
|This will have a positive affect on us, so here is a re-post from
|alt.suit.att-bsdi. From reading the posting, it doesn't appear
|that it's all over, but at least it's a good start.

|USL Motion Against BSDI Dismissed.
|
|Unix System Laboratories, a majority-owned subsidiary of AT&T, has been
|unsuccessful in its attempt to stop the distribution of BSD/386, a
|UNIX-compatible software product offered by Berkeley Software Design,
|Inc. BSD/386 is designed to run on IBM-compatible personal computers,
|and is based on the Networking Release 2 software developed at the
|University of California, at Berkeley.
|
|USL had sought to enjoin the distribution of BSD/386 pending trial,
|alleging that both the University and Berkeley Software Design had
|infringed copyrights and trade secrets in its 32V UNIX operating
|system. However, in an opinion filed March 3, 1993, in the United
|States District Court for the District of New Jersey, District Judge
|Dickinson R. Debevoise denied USL's request for a preliminary
|injunction to stop the distribution of BSD/386.
|
|His denial was based on a finding that USL was unlikely to succeed in
|showing that it had a valid copyright in 32V and that USL had not
|successfully shown that either Networking Release 2 or BSD/386
|contained any trade secrets belonging to USL. In making that ruling,
|Judge Debevoise noted that the accused header files, file names and
|function names were not trade secrets and stated that on the current
|record he "was unable to ascertain whether any aspect of Net2 or
|BSD/386, be it an individual line of code or the overall system
|organization, deserves protection as Plaintiff's trade secret."
|
|Berkeley Software Design thus remains free to distribute BSD/386
|without restriction.

|Congratulations to BSDI!
|
|Anyone have any word on whether Berkeley will be able to release 4.4-Lite
|now, or will their lawyers still have them wait til the whole thing is
|finally over?
|
|I'm one happy naive hippy-freak Unix tech-weenie today! Hmm, I wonder how
|UNIGRAM-X is going to report this? :-)
