Tom, you didn't include my favorite part of the UNIGRAM.X newsletter!
+ MINIGRAMS
Last Tuesday or Wednesday the traffic on UUNet over this BSDI
suit (see front page) got so heavy the protesters formed their
own group (alt.suit.att-bsdi) - and this before the news hits the
fan that the University of California, Berkeley is being brought
up on charges too. The group, reminiscent of the old drug-happy
hippy-freak Unix culture that was so enamoured of free software,
was at one point calling for a boycott of AT&T services. Sources
say Unix System Labs didn't exactly want to sue the university,
but basically has no choice and regards this as a test case.
To borrow Wagner's words, are these guys fair, accurate and unbiased
journalists, or what?
Just another drug-happy, hippy-freak programmer,
