NIL

[Fare Rideau]

Dear LispOS hackers,

In his GNU (GNU's Not Unix) Manifesto,
RMS explains that when he began his free software project,
he had to choose between cloning Unix or cloning a Lisp Machine.
He chose Unix, for various reasons of expediency,
which we should respect, given the success of his project
at promoting free software, and how useful it has proven:
GNU includes all the tools that made free unices possible,
as well as a great Lisp-based editor.

Now, I believe it's time for the complementary project to GNU to appear.
In reference to its elder free software project, I think set of all
LispOS related free software projects should be given the generic name NIL,
which stands, of course, for ``NIL IS LISP''.
Maybe it's time that we write the NIL Manifesto, in answer to GNU?
