   A much more general principle making the same point extremely clear
   appears in a section of the United States copyright statutes: an author
   can never be unwillingly deprived of his exclusive copyrights. It's a
   real shame NeXT didn't try this tack when they were bulldozed into
   distributing their compiler for free because they hadn't realized the
   effects of the GPL.

Was NeXT was unwillingly bulldozed into giving away their compiler
sources? Who bulldozed them?
