Thank you Jordan. That is what I remembered. I was also under the
impression that because we started over again with 4.4Lite2 after the
settlement that we could not be sued again. We have also had a CVS system
in place since the before the settlement and what we did get from IBM via
Whistle was developed by Whistle for IBM and given to us. Basically when
SCO says there "may be a problem with FreeBSD" they are just blowing
smoke. Right.
