+Historical Background
+
+This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is
+provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group
+BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to
+computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence
+of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
+Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems
+Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems
+Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development
+was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC
+(1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and
+Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of
+Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the
+best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and
+for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated
+Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group
+Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as
+successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and
+Honeywell Information Systems Inc. .
