Hallo,
I heard about, that the sources for BSD are public-domain ?!
If so, could someone tell me where to get it ?
(Addresses in Europe prefered)
Please don't use the internal mailpath - use my internet-address instad !
Thanks, Carsten

The ATT license is about $30,000; once you have that, you pay about $500 for the tape from Berkeley. Certain portions (such as the networking code) are available without a license, but most of the system is just a modified ATT Unix. It is rumored that one of the enhancements of 4.4BSD is freedom from the ATT license restrictions. -- / Lars Poulsen, SMTS Software Engineer CMC Rockwell lars@CMC.COM

Sorry, I don't know of any European sources although inria.inria.fr might be a good place to look. If you like I will mail you a recursive directory of the BSD sources at gatekeeper - you can decide for yourself what you want to get. Good luck!
