However, I am over 30, and my sense of smell isn't what it used to be. It is very tempting to bring the use of the word "unix" in news group names to the attention of the trademark weenies at USL (who still owns the trademark, they've just exclusively licensed it to X/Open). Since their only contact with the net is via "INTERNET%" email that shows up in the CC:Mail mailboxes, it's not clear that they are aware of its "misuse" (ie: any use by anyone other than their licensees). They would probably be happy to have a handle to beat on uunet because of the Rob Kolstad relationship (notice that BSDI is "using" the "unix trademark" in violation of the consent decree by way of group naming).
