BSD went already through the UNIX lawsuit process a few years ago and the code base is supposed to be clean by now. I suppose they want to sue BSD for the code they highjacked (which they are allowed to according to the BSD license) and want to make people pay to use their own work. This is insane. He must be really desperate for money... Why don't we ask Bill Gates to license the patent on binary code to SCO Group? Sounds like a good time...
