Any net.lawyers want to fill us in about what sort of things AT&T can
demand of BSDI customers if they win the case? Can they force them to all
pay licensing fees? Destroy all BSDI materials? Scary thoughts for
customers. By the way, for those who haven't read the interrogatory,
USL is asking for a list of all customers, and any others who received
BSDI promotional materials. Blech.
