From the article before it:

    Before Apple changed copyright law in 1983, "free
    software" was the norm from DECUS to the 8-bit
    BBS community.
I've heard both IBM and Microsoft be saddled with single-handedly introducing the scourge of non-Free software, but never Apple. Anyone know what the reference is to?
