I think that you should sue AT&T and USL for using the name UNIX :)

In terms of action to take against AT&T and USL, is anybody interested in
starting a petition?  Something of the sort of promising to drop AT&T as
a long distance carrier due to their unethical and stupid practices?
Who likes that SysV thing anyhow?
