- I'm not sure that they are losing anything. With full knowledge of what
- USL/AT&T has done, universities and reasearchers are still clamoring
- for Plan 9. If I attend a university with a Plan 9 source license does this
- mean I'll have to *live in New Jersey* if I want to do OS reasearch?!
-
- I would have liked to have seen universities refusing to use Plan 9 and joining
- in the lawsuit against USL. What we get instead are places like CMU
- dropping their BNR2SS project (net2/386bsd? replacement of AT&T code
- necessary to run Mach). I'll bet AT&T is running scared now.
