Computer History Museum will release Apple's Lisa Operating system for free as open source

Once that code is finished being reviewed by Apple, the museum will make the code available sometime this year, Kossow added. The Computer History Museum in California has planned to release Apple ’s legendary Lisa operating system for free as open source this year, the media reported. The Mountain View-based museum announced that the source code for Lisa, Apple’s computer that predated the Mac, has been recovered and was being reviewed by the tech giant itself, reports 9to5Mac. “Just wanted to let everyone know the sources to the OS and applications were recovered, I converted them to Unix end of line conventions and spaces for Pascal tabs after recovering the files using Disk Image Chef, and they are with Apple for review,” said Al Kossow, a software curator at the museum.
