Now, getting to the point, I was shocked when I went into the toilet

novelty items of a sexual nature, featuring on the design something that
looked remarkably similar to the BSD Daemon. To the best
of my knowledge, the BSD Daemon is copyrighted by Marshall Kirk
McKusick.
Is this a case of copyright theft? As obviously they are a profit making
company. Or have i got totally the wrong end of the stick.
Gee, in the U.S. I've never seen such a machine that wasn't
painted the same color as the wall. Maybe I go to the wrong
establishments ....

<OT> Not only that, you should probably hack into it and make
sure that COPYRIGHT still appears in the / dir ... maybe the Regents
need to get involved as well. Or do you suppose there's no software
running on that box? 8-D

On a more somber note, I concur that it seems pretty blatant.
