This is not an official statement from the project.
There is not now, nor has there *EVER* been *ANY* System V code in
BSD. *EVER*. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER. The IP connected with the BSD
suit of the early 1990s derived from pre System V and System III
versions of Unix. In fact, Version 7 unix has more Berkeley
copyrights in it than AT&T copyright notices.
The settlement terms specifically state that SCO cannot sue anybody
who makes a release based on 4.4-LITE. The settlement agreement is
BINDING on both parties. SCO cannot revoke it, and will have a hell
of a legal fight if they try.
