[I worked in several academic/research institutions holding BSD regents licences, and while the were a complet PITA to deal with over re-re-re-signings and the like (if you couldn't dig up the corpse and use the hand to sign the documents with a forgery of the original signatures on the first paperwork ever signed with Berkeley, then you couldn't renew licences: like the role of 'vice chancellor' never changes in the lifetime of a business relationship with Berkeley!) ] [having said which, the longest delay I ever saw on a tape was due to British customs holding 4.2BSD until they got payment on some calculated VAT value.] -G
