Evening,

What IS the current copyright status on TOPS-10/20?   Who owns it? I
assume it's still copyrighted I assume...and I doubt the current
copyright owner would bother to enforce their rights to it.

By the way - why do people assume that people would not want to protect
their rights?
This whole attitude scares me a little.

  In this case, it's because the rights are to a decades-old OS that is
viewed by the business world as being nothing more than a long-dead
historical curiosity.

  We know it's awesome, and we understand why, but let's put it this
way...Windows is fast disappearing, and it's not exactly TOPS-10/20
that's killing it.
