Please forgive if this is old hat, but I've caught just the end of this thread here
in comp.os.mach.

I would suggest that anyone interested in an AT&T boycott join forces with the folks
in comp.unix.bsd and alt.suit.att-bsdi(?).  There has been some talk of a boycott
over there, but things never really got off the ground.  There was also some talk
of a letter writing campaign(sp?) directed at USL/AT&T that would let them know of
our feelings regarding their "Closed Systems"(tm) attitude.
