- potpourri. and i quote from isbn 0-201-06196-1
- the_design_and_implementation_of_the_4.3_bsd_unix_operating
- ... by samuel j. leffler et al
-
- on the page with the copyright and the publisher information etc
- theres a paragraph that states
-
- 'UNIX is a registered trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories in the United
- States and other countries...'

- so. we are now no smarter than when we started?
- i forgot what we were discussing. actually, i have heard of this
- purely as a rumor--the death-star <well thats what i call it> symbol
- you know, the orb made with line-art so often seen with at&t logos
- was once untm-ed and un <c>-ed. then some joe-schmoo noticed and
- copyrighted it before the execs at at&t realized. at&t had to
- pay him $$$ to buy it back/pay royalt etc. anyone ever heard of this?
- truth?
