 ===== Finally: BSD-Style Unix Source Licenses =====
+Once the Unix business had been sold to Caldera, there were more internal changes, and in January 2002 I received this [[http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Documentation/Emails/dionj_wkt.html#20020123155527.H12595@sco.com|e-mail from Dion]]:
+> I'm happy to let you know that Caldera International has placed the ancient UNIX releases (V1-7 and 32V) under a "BSD-style" license. I've attached a [[http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Caldera-license.pdf|PDF of the license letter]] hereto.  Feel free to propogate it as you see fit.
+>
+> Many thanks to Warren Toomey, of PUPS, and to Caldera's Bill Broderick, director of licensing services here.  Both of these gentlemen were instrumental in making this happen.  And thanks to our CEO, Ransom Love, whose vision for Caldera International prescribes cooperation and mutual respect for the open source communities.
+Wow! We had gone from no licenses to binary-only licenses, to paid then free licenses, and now BSD-style licenses. I could finally make the [[http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/|Unix Archive]] available by anonymous FTP and through the web.
