A work only lands in public domain after the end of its copyright term; people also may disclaim copyright for their work, and then it is effectively public domain; but when the copyright holder dissolves without explicitly assigning copyright to anybody, the work remains proprietary (in any case, a program can't be free until its source code is available).

Greenblatt says "The ROM images were never assigned to anybody in the dissolution of LMI and GigaMOS decades ago and are therefore in the public domain."

If ROM images lack licensing info, they are technically proprietary.  Savannah packages can't depend on proprietary software.

Registration Details


  • Name: LambdaDelta

Lisp Machine designer Richard Greenblatt, founder and president of LISP Machine, Inc. (LMI) and GigaMOS, is involved.
)




Description:

Lisp Machine emulator running System 130 — RMS introduced GNU to the world in the System 99 manual.  Supports Common Lisp, Zeta Lisp, ZMACS, ZMAIL, etc. and after four decades remains one of the most advanced software development environments.


Other Software Required:

SDL zlib https://libSDL.org

Other Comments:

No media files included — the installation instructions say where to get ROM images which might possibly lack licensing info.
Peripheral device emulation incorporates some fake86 code.
The usual COPYING file is present in the top level directory.
