What rules? And what authority instituted them? I wasn't computing thirty years ago, so I can't comment on the actions of AT&T. But I am around today using FreeBSD and Linux. Am I being a rebel for doing so? No! No! No! There are no rules telling you what OS you can use. Not thirty years ago. Not now. And Hell will freeze over before it happens in the future.
