Do you mean the version with the historic1 and historic2 directories, or
something else? A lot of that stuff is definitely on shaky legal ground.

I have an extra special expanded version of
Kirk's DVD. Some of which
I'm not allowed to share, but the brl stuff wasn't in the list.... Do
you have that stuff Warren, or should I send you a list and ask Kirk
what we can put up? He's here in ottawa at BSDcan with me at the
moment as luck would have it... Or do you have it all already and it's
been filtered...

(federal) employees). So once you have the rights for V6 there’s nothing
really additional. We did add the V7 file system as a switch but I think
that wasn’t done with V7 code.
