[comp.lang.eiffel] eiffel licensing

akwright@watdragon.waterloo.edu (Andrew K. Wright) (12/22/88)

I seem to recall reading a note somewhere about Dr. Meyer's intentions
regarding control of the Eiffel language definition.  Although I cant
remember where I read this, I seem to recall that the intent was
that ISE retain control of the Eiffel language definition, in order
to ensure that all implementations of Eiffel conform.
Furthermore, this would permit the continued development of the
language, without the stagnation (or committee-designed feel)
imposed by a standards organization.

Could someone from ISE please comment on this?
