See: ftp://minnie.tuhs.org/UnixArchive/Caldera-license.pdf

v7, 32V, and everything before are now BSD licensed. The original Unix
patrimony is now open source. This does actually have a couple of
practical effects -- as just one example, a bunch of documentation has
been missing from the various open source BSDs because it could not be
released with 4.4BSD and now that can finally change.

Feel free to spread this far and wide.
