Net/2 was the second more complete release of the unencumbered BSD from CSRG. Eventually this release led to the USL vs Regents of UCal lawsuit.
While the Net/1 release was focused on the TCP/IP stack from the 4.x BSD releases, Net/2 included pretty much everything that the CSRG team could identify as not being AT&T source, and re-wrote what they could. The result being based on a failed port to the i386, and it was released with some 'six missing files'...
Some notable Net/2 derived OS's include:
This code release was the basis of the AT&T vs CSRG lawsuit. The CSRG had to later withdrawl this software and encourage everyone to use the later release 4.4 BSD Lite which had removed the offending files from the distribution. Details of the settlement can be found on groklaw.
Later when Caldera had set the source free for 32v which is the common basis for all AT&T Unix (SYSIII,SYSV), and all of the 32bit BSD releases.
