>Ahem.  Some people *prefer* the terms of the BSD copyright.

As long as the copyright doesn't state anything ridiculous about
using the system, like I have to write all mail in Esperanto), I
couldn't care less about the copyright.  Now, if I were about to
start a small UNIX company, like BSDI, I imagine I'd much prefer
the BSD copyright.  But, as a user, it matters not.

Which copyright I prefer is left as an exercise in mindreading; I
would have posted this either way.
