...oh sorry only about a third of it...
Still totally unnecessary, though.
Perhaps as an antidote

In other words, software that was developed at Symbolics was not given
way for free to LMI. Is that so surprising?
Which is conceding Stallman’s point.
Anyway, that wasn’t Symbolics’s “plan”; it was part of the MIT licensing
agreement, the very same one that LMI signed. LMI’s changes were all
proprietary to LMI, too.
I don’t understand this bit. The only “MIT licensing agreement” I’m aware
off _allows_ you to redistribute your copies without the source, but doesn’t
_require_ it.
