    i have heard rumors that ATT has filed against berkeley and BSDI, saying
    that the networking tape source code is covered by the ATT copyright, aince
    the authors had access to the ATT source.

    i would be a bit careful putting new stuff up for anonymous ftp until i
    heard more about it than this.

Since there was no networking facility in the original AT&T code, I
wouldn't be too worried about those parts.  The stuff that BSDI
presumably "stole" is the Unix OS.  I think the Berkeley TCP/IP
implementation was done under contract to DARPA, and really is public.
