Subject: 1994 BSD/Unix Settlement Agreement now publicly available
from the cox.internet.discussion.general newsgroup:

[x-posted to .general and .unix, fup2 set to .unix]

A very interesting heads-up to those into the BSDs or Linux, or following
the SCO developments.  As reported on Groklaw, and linked on /. and LWN...

The 1994 Unix System Labs Vs. Regents of University of California --
Berkeley settlement, long secret, has now been released under California's
Public Records Law.

Details at Groklaw, here (complete with coverage of how this affects the
SCO case):

WOW!  I hadn't expected this to be made public likely until mid-century
anyway.  Other than that, PJ pretty much sums up the effect on Linux and
SCO, but I'd be interested in seeing the reaction from the BSD community.
