Does this mean that we should go ahead and use UNIX without compensation to AT&T? I think not. The lawyers, out there, might want each corporation to abide by whatever the legal code says, but I think what is missing from the system is a sense of "Right and Wrong"; one does not take his neighbors automobile because he left the keys in it. -- *** The opinions expressed above are not actually opinions, but *** are FACTS which may or may not pertain to the subject at hand.
