... guess what? The tcsh sources that were on wuarchive (which they got
from uunet) *are* ATT-tainted. So they are covered by ATT copyright, and
are not available for FTP anymore. :(
Sorry, I misunderstood what the copyright messages in the headers meant.
There is a difference between "freely redistributable" and "the Berkeley
Software License Agreement specifies the terms and conditions for
redistribution."
If you downloaded the sources, you should remove them.
