Dan, perhaps you used a bad choice of words (i.e. licensed from Berkley), or
you are mistaken.  When I worked for DEC they came out with a product called
Ultrix and that was their version of Unix.  They (DEC not Berkley) license
that product.  I am not a Unix person (VMS is my OS of choice), but I did 
work with and know some of the Ultrix people and according to them Ultrix is
Unix and more.  Now, how close that is to BSD 4.3 I don't really know without
asking them (which I could do).  I know I'm making a moot point but, I just 
don't want anyone to get confused.
