Do you mean my "opinion" regarding *BSD, or Berkley, or both?

I really have no animosity towards *BSD, and even though I run Debian,
have no philosophical animosity towards the BSD license. It's just
bad luck that UCB was involved in that lawsuit with ATT right around
the time that Linux was born. That, and the appeal of the
semi-democratic appeal of the Linux development model.
If *BSD were to replace Windows or a proprietary Unix in a given
organization, I'd be just as happy as if it were Linux.

As for women in Berkley, I try not to think about them.
