- Due to a stupid user error on my part, I've accidently deleted the
- responses I've received to the net.views question about the USL/BSDI
- lawsuit.
-
- If you sent me a response to the question, please re-send it.
-
- If you haven't responded yet, but have been meaning to, here's your
- chance to get it in.
-
- Feel free to include whatever flames you like about bonehead
- journalists who fail to maintain a responsible policy of backing up
- their important data---heaven knows I've been beating myself up about
- this.
-
- As a reminder, the original net.views request follows:
-
- Unix Systems Laboratories recently sued software company BSDI and the
- Regents of the University of California at Berkeley, charging that BSDI's
- commercial Unix workalike and UCB's free software violated USL's
- intellectual property rights. Was USL justified in filing the suit?
-
- This question is being posted to gather responses for a regular
- opinion column in OPEN SYSTEMS TODAY called "net.views."
-
- By sending an E-mail reply to the above question, you are
- granting permission for us to publish your response. A compilation of the
- responses to this post will be posted here about two weeks from today.
-
- Please include in your response your name, your employer or
- university, your job title or class standing (that is to say, if you
- identify yourself as a student, are you a freshman, sophomore, junior
- senior, graduate student?), and a telephone number where you
- can be reached during the daytime (overseas readers note: that's daytime in
- North America).
