IBM put a copy of the dbm code in the X11 release (ie released the 
code) with a "copyright IBM with permission for anyone to use, copy, 
modify, etc" notice in it.  There are no "copyright AT&T" notices in it.  

Given this situation, it *is* legal for me to use and distribute this 
code.  There are no trade secret, copyright, or license violations 
in my doing so.  AT&T source license sites may be a different story.  
IBM and AT&T may have something to discuss, but that's not my 
concern.
