Z:gnu-www-ja-rms-lisp--ab77a5-The background of this plan, w/en

The background of this plan, which I did not state explicitly in the talk, is that during an initial period the ex-AI-Lab hackers, whether at Symbolics or LMI, continued contributing their changes to the MIT Lisp Machine system &mdash; even though the contract did not require this. Symbolics' plan was to rupture this cooperation unilaterally.
