GNU, GPL, Open Source More often than not, the question arises on OSNews why certain projects or pieces of abandonware aren't released as open source software. Supposedly, this would speed up development, facilitate the growth of a community, all that jazz associated with open source development. Here are four projects I'd like to see released under a MIT license.

That would be interesting, but there were features in Multics only possible because the hardware had unique instructions. I think it might have been a CDC 6600, but that could be handled in an emulator.
