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. . + + ----------------------------------------------------------- + +Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute these programs and their +documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,provided +that the below copyright notice and historical background appear in all +copies and that both the copyright notice and historical background and +this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that +the names of MIT, HIS, BULL or BULL HN not be used in advertising or +publicity pertaining to distribution of the programs without specific +prior written permission. + Copyright 1972 by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Honeywell Information +Systems Inc. + Copyright 2006 by BULL HN Information Systems Inc. + Copyright 2006 by Bull SAS + All Rights Reserved -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
