4.4 BSD Lite was the second last release from the CSRG. After they had to withdrawl the Net/2 source, the files found to be in contention with 32v were removed, and this distribution was released.

Then all of the derived projects had to ensure that they didn't have those files, or anything derived from them.

from init_main.c

@(#)init_main.c	8.9 (Berkeley) 1/21/94

4.4 BSD Lite can still be found on the internet...

The next and final release was 4.4 BSD Lite2
