Some time ago I wrote on this list:
: First there was Ultrix-11
: for PDP-11 (DEC's stolen V7 UNIX).
It has been brought to my attention that the above has been interpreted
differently from my intended meaning. I did not mean stolen in the negative
legal/moral definition of this term (as in robbing someone of something), I
meant it in the much more common programmers' vernacular definition of
"stolen"
as in "I stole this routine from...", without any negative meaning whatsoever.
I apologise for the unintentional alternate meaning and its negative
implications.
