When this history comes up I wonder that in order to avoid legal
issues the remaining unchanged and I guess some core parts were
re-written at Berkeley and so were all the changes good and
could/should? any of the AT&T original code be re-considered today if
any legal threat has subsided/expired? Of course things being built
upon them may carry much more weight.
I don't see why you think the legal threat expired. *someone* still
holds the old unix copyrights; they're probably not expiring in the
lifetime of anyone on this list.
