Not even slightly.

Any significant expense associated with getting 4BSD results from having
to have an AT&T source license, 32V or later.  As AT&T will no longer sell
you a 32V license, you have to buy the expensive System V ones.  Once you
have an AT&T license you can get 4.3BSD for $1000.  Once you have 4.3BSD,
you can get the latest/greatest, 4.3BSD-tahoe, for $400 (6250bpi) or $450
(1600bpi).
