Speaking of licensing:
When bsd and System V are merged, will the holders of 32V licenses
still be able to get source to newer bsd versions? Or will everyone wishing
to get source have to go out and get a SV.4 licence?
Also, in the recent wave of AT&T f***ing up licensing procedures (it
used to be soooo easy), are they planning any changes for SV.4?
