"The release of all ATT Unix implementations under the BSD license by Caldera (which now calls itself SCO) in 2002."
I wanted to point out that it was a "BSD-style" license that the code was released under, not the actual BSD license. Also, not all versions of Unix were released. They excluded System V. Ransom Love said in a recent interview that they wanted to release all the Unix code, but they discovered it was full of other companies' copyrights, like Intel, who wouldn't give permission to release it.
