Hi All.
I'm working on revising my book on basic *nix programming, and for
the new chapter on sockets, I want to include some code from 4.2 BSD.
Is there a copyright file somewhere for that code? I'm sure it's
copyright the Regents of the University of California, but I'd like
to include the text of the copyright in the book, so that everything's
clear.
Thanks!
Arnold
From what I would ascertain it would, logically, fall under a copyright to
UCB if it comes from UCB, and under 32V's (questionable) copyright if not.
Oldest BSD I have any sort of code for is 4.3 and at least by that point
most of the Berkeley stuff is marked with this copyright string:
/*
* Copyright (c) 198x Regents of the University of California.
* All rights reserved. The Berkeley software License Agreement
* specifies the terms and conditions for redistribution.
*/
Some earlier stuff only has the first line.
