All the more reason to create a public domain style of unix (note the
use of the noun) and post it to the net!  Even then you wil have to come
up with some other name (like GNU, or TM) and have the lawyers on hand
to prove that your sources never got near AT&T's version of unix.

Well anyway the above is my opinion and does not reflect a stand on
the part of my company.
