MarciaW (who was at July's PLUG meeting) passed along
a URL to a spot on Dennis Ritchie's website where he
has posted documents concerning the USL vs. BSDI legal
matter. Ritchie states: "USL, at the time the owner
of a predecessor of the intellectual property now controlled
by SCO, sued BSD Incorporated. The University of California
was added to the suit soon after it began."

Ritchie's website is full of good stuff.
Hack the URL and visit his homepage.
