Hasn`t Unix fallen into general public domain?
OK, after I posted this I found a link to a very good webpage with the whole history. But this raises a question. Because ATT basicly didn`t commerize Unix and all the offshoots, doesn`t this put Unix in the public domain? And doesn`t any owner of it have to prove that they tried to protect it`s "property"?
