Stallman did not gave Symbolics his Lisp interpreter.

Symbolics had a license for MIT's Lisp system.




I've admittedly based that on what a FSF advocate told me and googling it seemed to support it. If you have some source that indicates this is wrong/biased, feel free to link it.

Anyway, that still wouldn't change that the FSF and Copyleft are explicitly anti-proprietary, not intending to be 'no restrictions'.
