... and he can go running to VSTa <http://www.vsta.org/> for the clone
he wants to subsidise.  Who's stopping him?

I'm sorry to but in, but AT&T doesn't quite deserve this kind of
scorn.  They might be poked fun at, for not really knowing how to
market anything that is NOT "telephone" related (UNIX, "BellMac32",
Hobbit, the list is quite long).  But they're NOT an "evil empire".

And nobody has said they were. I, in particular, have said nothing that
could be implied as such.

Since Bell Labs hasn't been part of AT&T since 1995, I don't think you
need worry yourself overmuch about this.

True, I guess to be perfectly correct we should call it Lucent since they
are the actual holder of the copyright. I just think of the old
plan9.att.com webpage when I think of Plan 9.
