Interesting.  This *is* becoming lamer than an efnet #teen* channel.

Actually the US Government doesn't give a damn about copyright
violations (software piracy, etc), its the originating company.  I am
damn sure someone has alerted some at DEC/Compaq (if there isn't already
a representitive on this list) of this.

But I do find it rather shitty that Digital doesn't either "Public
Domain" Ultrix or at least put it up for sale for a nominal fee.

Now you're issue to 20 lashings and 120 hail marys...
