Clem Cole <clemc@ccc.com> asks on Tue, 9 Jul 2019 21:32:31 -0400:

>> does anyone know if any version of the Tektronix Plot 10 sources has survived? 

In our PDP-10 TOPS-20 archive of what was then utah-science, later
science.utah.edu (a domain now owned by our Dean's office), I find
these files:

The Bitsavers code at

    http://www.bitsavers.org/bits/Tektronix/PLOT_10/TCS_3.0/plot10.ftn

has a 1974 copyright date, so our code is two years newer.

The question is, what is the copyright status of this code?  Has
Tektronix (https://www.tek.com/) made any statements about releasing
it to the public?

I no longer remember the conditions under which we got the PLOT 10
code, and any licensing paperwork has long since gone to recycling.
