Just curious, but will this be folded in the main CVS tree, or will it be available as a separate tree/cvsup dist? I'd imagine that the CVS hackery needed to implement the former takes a lot of time... It would be *way* too much work to fold it into the release. You'd end up with a completely different CVS tree, and have little/no gain from doing it. I also don't see the FreeBSD project making it available as a CVSup dist either. *IF* it's made publically available, I could see it as a port or something like that.

Greg, Yes it is most certainly our intent to free up the ancient Unix sources so that they can be used, essentially, for anything. Caldera asks for some acknowledgement, and disclaims all the usual stuff. I cant completely answer the question about your archives since I have not examined them and I dont know what other taint may be present. But as far as the ancient Unix, and the ATT source license requirement is concerned, I think this part of the problem has gone away. Caldera really does want this to be a happy, open source party of geek fun. We are not looking to trick anyone with secret legal viruses hidden in the code, or dark incantations buried in the fine print. ;-) Write me if anyone has any questions or wants more reassurances. -Dion Dion L.
