A while back a friend of mine told me that a piece of software called: "University" Ingres existed and had been recently held by the courts to be public domain, I have checked with the archiver at UCB, and he has never heard of such a beast. Any information on U.I. would be greatly appreciated includeing whether or not it exists or is available, and how/where to get a copy. --- Roland Pleasant Dunkerley III K.S.C.

tape is $100.00 ... however, you must be a member of the Sun User Group ...
a 1 year membership costs $30.00 ... so total cost should be about $130.00 .

This information was obtained from dhoward@sun.com ... he also forwarded
a copy of the required membership application and tape order forms to me.

You should press your effort onto the computer science department at Berkeley. The tape archiver may not know about it because Berkeley makes no effort to release it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Fried UUCP: ...!ames!cullsj!jeff Reality, what a concept!

I haven't heard anything about such a court case and would really appreciate hearing from anyone with details. Ingres originated in a research project at UC Berkeley some years back. It has been included in BSD packages for years. The following is the last paragraph of the recent announcement of an interim 4.3BSD release which sheds light on their direction. + We have started a process of identifying the code in the 4.3BSD distribution that is not derived from AT&T code. The copyrights in this code have been changed to indicate that it may be freely distributed if the copy- right notice is retained and that due credit for its origin is given to The Regents of the University of California. Over 1000 files have been identified in this distribution. Thos Sumner (thos@cca.ucsf.edu) BITNET: thos@ucsfcca (The I.G.)
