I would say this is a minor bug, and an interesting edge case as well.
The cause is the semi-colon following the `T`. `&T;` looks like an
html entity. If you remove the semicolon, the `&` is properly
converted to `&`.
In python-markdown, you can escape the `&` and you will get the expected output:
under a license from AT\&T; however, others were based on BSD instead.
becomes:
<p>under a license from AT&T; however, others were based on BSD instead.
</p>
Unfortunately, this does not seem to work in the other implementations.
