I remember that case. Yes.. To me it seemed that he had gotten a raw deal. I too did not think he had done it.
I remember him helping me out in learning how to use Linux when everyone on campus was saying that Linux sucked and that they would never run linux on campus since it was not a "real os". (The university was using a Sun based Unix box, an AIX based RS6000, and a Prime box, MS windows Web servers, and novell fileservers/mail)
They seem to have changed their minds about linux now... only its a little too late. Anyone with linux/opensource know-how left that university a while back... {nobody wanted to be accused of being a hacker since the university portreyd Linux as being a Hacker OS)
{as an example of the harassment that happened to Linux users: I got my account suspended for printing the net3 and firewall howto. The explanation was that they did not condone printing of hacking documents)
