#(Or is that for the Sun source and the 'right' to call it NFS).

To use the NFS and ONC trademarks (and that neat little octagonal
ONC/NFS logo), it's $1,000. According to the latest edition of the
"ONC/NFS Technology Guide" the contact people are

	Dennis Freeman or Felix Litman
	Sun Microsystems
	2550 Garcia Avenue
	MS PAL1-416
	Mountain View, CA 94043
	415-336-0955 or 1249

And I've never seen anyone at Connectathon bending the knees....
