:You can't.  A provision of the settlement agreement was that none of 
:the signatories could publish the settlement agreement.  If I remember 
:correctly, Chris Demetriou was the signatory for NetBSD, Rob Kolstad 
:was the signatory for BSD/OS and I was the signatory for FreeBSD.  The 
:agreement was pretty clear on the fact that by signing the agreement 
:and putting the mutual lawsuits behind us, Novell agreed that anyone 
:based on 4.4Lite2 going forward would be free and clear.

    You know, this latest SCO shenanigan has really got me angry.  Angry
    enough to take action...  so I went ahead and shorted some of their
    stock.

    Now I feel much better!  When they loose in the end (1-2 year time
    frame) and their stock goes poof I'll treat the Bay Area BSD crowd to a
    big dinner with the proceeds :-)
