Multics License 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
|
||||
