Well, my memory is pretty fuzzy here, but I was under the impression that
AT&T had nothing to do with the original development of the terminfo version
of curses, although Mark Horton did a lot of work on it after AT&T picked
up the code.  I recall that the code was copyrighted by Pavel Curtis (or
some such person), and if it had been developed by AT&T then AT&T or Bell
Labs would be the owner of the copyright.  Anyone know for sure?
