We (BBN) have contributed to publicly available Appletalk (and other Macintosh) software, and I'm working on permission to contribute more. I don't see how you can justify treating part of the research community (universities) differently from the rest. We will all benefit alot more if we can work cooperatively. If we start getting selfish and placing foolish restrictions on distribution then in the long run both the community as a whole and the individual members will lose. (Just to nit-pick: distributing stuff over the arpanet and not making it available to government sites is probably illegal.) -------
