KLAXON KLAXON KLAXON<p>Dodgy Genera binaries are one thing - pirate Genera <i>source</i> could be poison. Any future project to implement anything resembling a Lisp Machine* might be vulnerable to accusations that the contributors had taken advantage of it. Reading or downloading or disseminating or advertising it seems like a Really Bad Idea to me. Though the article suggests that "the current legal status of the IP around the Lisp Machines is unclear", it seems that there's at least one institution with (at the very least) a good chance of vindicating proprietary claims to a large part of Genera in court - new Symbolics: <a href="http://www.symbolics.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.symbolics.com</a><p>* Quite loosely, perhaps. For example, I don't think that "but my persistent, dynamic runtime doesn't implement Lisp!" is necessarily going to be a sterling defence against claims that it swiped architectural details from Genera.
