There's been a lot of paranoid speculation about this agreement over the years, but it's seems like it's exactly how it was reported in the first place -- Berkeley and others had to rewrite certain files and then could continue to develop BSD.

Greene did "lose" at Guilford, however, the British suffered sufficient casualties to force them to return to their safer coastal areas.
British brutality towards those favorable to the rebels (who they considered traitors) probably did gain them many new friends in the South. Indeed, they did briefly carry out a reign of terror killing many of these "traitors." OTOH, the British did attempt to recruit tories to their cause. This was somewhat successful, except that these forces were somewhat unreliable. Finally, part of Greene's campaign in the south was to try to prevent the recruitment of these tories.

Remember the recent US military operation in Fallujah? According to the US general in charge, of the thousand men they captured during that operation, only fifteen were foreigners. The idea that the majority of rebels in Iraq are foreign terrorists is a myth created by the new Iraqi government to make themselves look good to the US, and supported by Americans that don't want to believe that the Iraqis might not want what we're selling.

Besides, it remained mostly secret for 10 years--so much has changed now, do you think USL and the University care about it much anymore? I don't. SCO wasn't a party to that settlement so there's not much they can do to cover it up!
