When I was an undergrad visiting-groupie at Xavier in N.O. LA, there was
a visiting professor from Bell Labs who had a cardboard Unix License plate
hanging on the wall.  It was blue and white, with the word UNIX in big
letters across the middle.  On the bottom was that famous phrase
`Is a trademark of Bell Labs', and across the top, the New Hampshire state
motto, `Live Free or Die'.

The story is that once upon a time, DEC had several of these things made up
for people at the Labs.  Mike (whose last name I forget, he used to work at
pyuxqq) had one made out of cardboard.  I would pay good money to get one
made out of the real thing for my car.
