I think you have missed the point, Bill. If BSDI is guilty of the 'crime'
of developing an OS from the NET 2 tape, so are you. I do not condone
the classification of BSDI's actions as a crime, nor do I condone the
actions of AT&T.
I think someone should give BSDI a medal for doing their work. More to
the point, we should start contributing to the "BSDI legal defense fund."
