[plug] QOTD

Absolutely historical...

   "NT 5.0 [AKA Windows 2000] is the last nail in the Unix coffin.
    Interestingly, Unix isn't in the coffin... It's wondering what
    the heck is sealing itself into a wooden box 6 feet
    underground." -- Jason McMullan

...also, on the polarity of copyrights...

    "The big debate [was] over Richard Stallman's emphasis on the
    `free' in `free software.' The way it was characterized
     politically, you had copyright, which is what the big
     companies use to lock everything up; you had copyleft, which
     is free software's way of making sure they can't lock it up;
     and then Berkeley had what we called `copycenter,' which is take
     it down to the copy center and make as many copies as you want."
     -- Kirk McKusick
