Unix(tm) is a trademark...

How many versions of this copyright message do there exist? Some write
<Bell Labs> at the end, others <AT&T>, <AT&T I.S.>, <AT&T Bell Labs> ...

As far as I know, the *correct* way to put it today is:

	UNIX is a trademark of AT&T

	(source: all AT&T manuals for 3B-series)

So, good bye bell labs ......

Anyway, of course you can use national versions of the copyright message.
All international companies do that, even IBM. So here is a Danish version
just to demonstrate the silly way, that we have to represent out national
characters ({|} and [\]) in the 7-bit character set, until the real thing
(8-bit UNIX) comes along:

	UNIX er et varem{rke tilh|rende AT&T.
