My 2 cents (wirth) worth:
It seems to me that Ma Bell is annoyed with BSDi, because it needs a test
case to prove that it can do what it wants with UNIX, the name UNIX, and any
derivatives of same. That of course includes killing off (or buying out,
maybe?) smaller companies. Seems to be just a tad on the monopoly side,
doesn't it?
I'd like to know why Ma hasn't gotten the claws pointed at the Jolitz' port.
The reasoning behind this lack might show some of the logic (if any) of the
current suit.
Comments, anyone?
