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.)
