West Berlin: Our's or their's ?
 
On June 6th, 1985, TUB's ( Technische Universitaet ( West ) Berlin )
Department of Applied Computer Science ordered the   ^^^^
Berkeley 4.2 Software Distribution.

All the items needed for the purchase had been sent:
- AT&T Unix/32V System V Software Agreement
- a check for US $ 750.00
- site info etc.

In December 1985 we received the following telex:
> Your application for 4.2 bsd is now complete. However, we need to
> inform you that because of recent new amendmendts to the u.s. export
> administration act of 1979 our legal counsel of the university of
> california will require an assurance from all bsd licensees
> regarding re-export of our software. We hope to send you the
> form for such an assurance soon, probably in the beginning of the new
> year.
>
> Until then we will be unable to ship your distribution ....

Until now, we neither have received such a form, nor any other information
on how to obtain the distribution.

Are there people on the net, who have similar expierences ?

How can we convince UCB, state (?) or federal (?) authorities
that we are 'their' Berlin, and do not belong to the 'empire of evil'.
                                   ^^^

We'll soon get in real trouble with some research projects and courses
that rely on the availability of the BSD sources.
