Good to know. 

I have, somewhere on a backup tape, the 4.1 sources -- a client of mine
was one of the 3b2 beta sites.  Good to know what the legalities are if they 
ever went out of business.

I can't help but think they would be *much* more popular with their 
audience if they made a point of putting the current source code at each
release into a formal external escrow, with terms that GPLd it, or at least
BSDd it, if they ever "go out of business" -- defining precisely what that
means.

Cheers,
