  18. Net/2 is not "the first release...that did not require a license".  It is,
  19. however, the largest and most complete such release.  It is the first from
  20. which one could reasonably construct a complete operating system.
  21.  
  22. CSRG also released the smaller, license-free Networking 1, which is so
  23. far not involved in the lawsuit.
