   Not to slight John, but Keith Bostic probably deserve the most credit for
   changing the mindset of CSRG more than anyone else.
	   /r$

Knowing Keith and John, neither would care to be singled out.  There
were a lot of people involved, including the policy makers at AT&T who
kept raising the prices on the Unix Source License and who refused to
sell any more of the old license needed to get BSD source at the old
price.

Thanx to all of them.

Now, if we could only get UCB and CSRG to copyleft ...  ;-}
