Now I know you (ISC) guys are nuts.  "BIND" is, literally, the "Berkeley
Internet Name Domain" server.  If ISC's claiming rights to that basic
acronym that was invented and existed long before ISC or even Paul
Vixie's involvement with BIND then I'm going to have to go somewhere and
get violently sick now....  If anyone other than UCB owns the name it's
either Kevin Dunlap or Mike Karels.  Certainly one of the latter is
likely to be able to claim to be its creator.

(note that of course "ISC BIND" is an entirely different critter)
