Some of us were hacking Unix back since 1975 when ATT used to give it away practically free to universities. We were under the impression that our work would remain free and available, because we were told ATT can't sell software. Then after the consent degree was promulgated, suddenly all our work was owned by ATT and they were selling it as their property as a trade secret. Something is very wrong if the laws permit such sleaze. With Richard, such practices do not happen.
