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.
