Apologies if this was already discussed and resolved, but I
see quite a number of:
* Copyright (c) 1984 AT&T
* All Rights Reserved
in various files... Can we track the IP of those parts to
ensure that we (and Sun) have the required license to use
them??
FTR, it is only necessary that Sun do the diligence -- we rely on them
to do so as part of the contribution process. Since this is code from
the OpenSolaris gate, I know that Sun has a defined legal process
to vet their code before publication. From the headers, it looks like
this was part of the Unix system licensed to Sun during the big
System 5 deal with AT&T, and thus I see no problem with accepting the
contribution from Sun.
However, our license text should be on top of each file, not after the
copyright notices. I will fix that when I get a chance.
