Some people *prefer* the terms of the BSD copyright. As long as the copyright doesn't state anything ridiculous about using the system, like I have to write all mail in Esperanto), I couldn't care less about the copyright.

Which copyright I prefer is left as an exercise in mindreading; I would have posted this either way. -- _g, '96 --->>>>>>>>>> gt8134b@prism.gatech.edu <<<<<<<<<--- CompSci ,g_ W@@@W__ |-\ ^ | disclaimer: <---> "Bow before ZOD!" __W@@@W W@@@@**~~~' ro|-<ert s/_\ nders | who am I??? ^ from Superman '~~~**@@@@W `*MV' hi,ocie! |-/ad! / \ss!! | ooga ooga!! | II (cool)! `VW*'
