I seem to remember, that some public domain source code that making the
rounds of the net a number of years ago (five?) had a statement from an
AT&T person attached, stating that the code did not contain and was not
based on any AT&T intelectual property.  It also gave a contact for
further enquires.  The idea I got was, that if you had some code that
could have been AT&T's intellectual property you mailed it to someone
at AT&T who told you whether it was or not.  Does anyone know whether
that procedure still exists, and if yes, why BSDI did not use it, if no
why it was dropped by AT&T?
