Is the recent "hamilton group" announcement being discussed anywhere
on USENET? I'm interested in the opinions out there.
Executive Summary: ATT & Sun (and UNISYS and Xerox I think) are
building "the next standard UNIX" ... a number of vendors (DEC, IBM,
Apollo, HP, Seimens, Bull, and some others) form their OWN group
called the Open Software Foundation to build a different UNIX (based
on AIX so I heard), to supposedly come with less restrictions than
ATT's version.
Where's RMS and GNU when you need 'em? :-)
