Apple Lisa - complete source code

[brunocampos]

Hi there! Today, on the 40th anniversary of Apple Lisa, the Computer History Museum has received permission from Apple to release its source code.

I've uploaded to my personal Github:

https://github.com/brunocamps/apple-lisa-source-code

What do you guys think we can do or learn from it?

You may not and you agree not to: ... publish benchmarking results about the Apple Software or your use of it;
At first glance, it seems the license is saying 'sure you can think different and port Lisa to ARM64... but you can't tell anyone.'


Also, just a heads up:  you might have just opened a can of Legal Grey Area worms by publishing it on GitHub.

Apple's license does not allow redistribution or publishing of the code, which is at odds with the right to fork and might violate GitHub's terms of service.
