Multics License
<p>Historical Background
</p>
<p>This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is
<br/>
provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group
<br/>
BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to
<br/>
computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence
<br/>
of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
<br/>
Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems
<br/>
Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems
<br/>
Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development
<br/>
was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC
<br/>
(1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and
<br/>
Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of
<br/>
Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the
<br/>
best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and
<br/>
for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated
<br/>
Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group
<br/>
Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as
<br/>
successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and
<br/>
Honeywell Information Systems Inc. .
