- UCB have counter sued USL saying that they are in breach of the license UCB
- gave them to use their code in SYSVr4, namely that they've not kept the BSD
- copyright headers on source files and not given full accreditation of thier
- work in the documentation. In other words, UCB want ALL their code back from
- USL. SYSVr4 is about 60% BSD code in total, including all the user programs,
- eg VI, More etc etc etc. This means that if UCB win USL are left with about
- 40% of an operating system to sell.
-
- Methinks USL bit off a little more than it could chew when they added UCB to
- the BSDI lawsuit.
