Subject: Public-ness of UCSD Pascal Versions

You raise interesting questions.  My mad friend was so upset by
the UCSD Pascal situation that he was actually beginning a
lawsuit on the theory that public money developed it, and it
thus belonged to the public.  He never got far, because it was
about then that he began wasting away with cancer.  It might
have been interesting to see what would have happened.
