[net.lang.st80] Home-brewed smalltalk?

tim (04/08/83)

Unless I'm mistaken, you can't copyright a computer language, nor
otherwise control the writing of programs to compile or interpret
the language. (However, you can control the use of its name by trade-
mark). Is this true, and if so, how long before we see a UNIX(tm)
implementation of Smalltalk (tm?) ? Anyone out there looking for a
good thesis project?
