None of these conditions.  I have nothing to do with CSRG, the people
who bring you bsd4.x.  You'll need to talk to them.

I suspect the restrictions on advertising are to avoid ruining Berkeley's
reputation if you do a port, botch the job, and say you're selling Berkeley
Unix.  I don't know, though.

Also, everything I said in the previous message is my opinion only.
