USL v. BSDi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1206 words) |
 | The case was settled out of court in 1993 after the judge expressed doubt in the validity of USL's IP, with USL and BSDi agreeing not to litigate further over the software that would later be developed into the free BSDs. |
| On these grounds, USL asked the court for a preliminary injunction that would bar BSDi and UC Berkeley from distributing the NET-2 software until the outcome of the case was known. |
| The University also claimed that similar lines of source code (which were presented during discovery) did not infringe on USL's copyright because they had become public domain by the actions of ATandT: ATandT had promoted UNIX as a standard, licensing it to universities and allowing UNIX source code to be published in textbooks. |
| What is the USL (1672 words) |
| USL was formed by graduate students in April 1999 as a democratic alternative to affiliation with an international union. |
| Unlike the international unions, USL believes that graduate students must be active and informed participants in the decision-making processes that affect their lives, including the negotiation of their labor contract with UC. |
| USL members encourage all UCSB student academic employees to demand that your elected student representatives be included in negotiation of any contract that will affect your working conditions. |
