Randy, the way you donate to the cause is to buy a BSDi source license.
This supports the company in a couple of ways. One, they are recovering
from their development costs, two, they are bolstering thier income. You
end up with source for an o/s that runs on a 386. What's AT&T going to 
do? chase ALL the sublicensees. Good luck.

At first sight, the idea of any rules or principles being superimposed on the
creative mind seems more likely to hinder than to help,but this is quite untrue
in pratice. Disciplined thinking focus inspiration rather than blinkers it.
