I know that at least some of the routines in Section 3 of the Unix Programmer's Manual for 4.1BSD are in the public domain. My question is, are all of them? What about the stdio library? What about routines such as qsort? References would be appreciated, if possible. Thanks. Steve Zimmerman {decvax,linus}!cca!z z@CCA-UNIX

Most of what is in Section 3 of the Unix User's Manual is NOT in the public domain; both the Standard I/O Library and "qsort", for example, are licensed code from Bell Laboratories. Go forth and buy a V7 UNIX manual, and almost everything mentioned there is licensed software in the form it appears in 4.1BSD (there may be a few routines rewritten by Berkeley, but very few). 4.2BSD may have more which were rewritten, but I suspect the vast majority of the stuff mentioned in the V7 manual is basically Bell code.

-------- We at dundee university are about to be putting in a NCR tower running sytem V, however beingBrittish university we are rather short of money, SO we would like to contact any one out there with PUBLIC DOMAIN software available. We are quite happy to do the port to NCR or possibley across unix versions, below is a list of the sort of things we are looking for. Mail handler Graphics drivers Spreadsheet Data base Pascal Fortran Basic or anything else people are willing to give Thanks in advance Andrew Cobley.
