^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It did take an awful long time for NeXT to "give it away under GPL"
-- wasn't a lawsuit threatened at one time.
Of course, *all* they gave was the gcc changes -- we now await "GNU
Objective-C".
>the GPL, none of these would be available to the community in source form.
Maybe, maybe not...
Much research work in the US is funded by "Congress", and so public domain.
From the press, Intel have several Government "supercomputer" contracts, to
take one example, so maybe the i860 work would have been available anyway?
BTW: What is the *original* publication date for the GNU manifesto?
I remember reading it several years before the "current" date???
