Folks --

Though I was a few years gone from PARC in 83, I recall that the 
first implementors of ST80 were all given ownership of the image, 
etc. This included the companies in the Green book: DEC, Tektronix, 
Apple, etc. Squeak itself was derived from the image that Apple 
implemented and owned (and part of the reason we went back to this 
for Squeak was to establish clear title, etc.).

Cheers,

Alan
