Really liked the article, came from a video on the current noise of the "sound of the MPC". I need to point out though, the COMPAL-80 was a computer, not a programming language. I'd call them a boutique computer manufacturer until the IBM PC came into the picture.
Remember, software is the idea which is brought to "life" when you use various programming languages, tools, etc. at your disposal. He doesn't owe Intel, Thomas E. Kurtz or John G. Kemeny royalties, he used the tools at the time to create his own original idea.
I'd have to pull the court/acquisition documents (if they are in the public record) to see what was bought in that mass-sale.
Gotcha, Thanks for the info! And at the end of the day, the court documents and original contracts will state everything. I think alot of the community is on either Roger or Akais side.. and Im with you lol what do the CONTRACTS say !!
This article started as a facebook post.. I will update with official references and updated information as time progresses.
