MIT has released under a "BSD like" license the source code of the
Lisp Machines developed at MIT.  Lisp Machines were special-purpose
computers designed for running Lisp code.  They were popular in the
1980s, especially for AI applications.  Improved versions were
commercially produced and distributed by companies such as Symbolics,
Texas Instruments and Lisp Machines Inc.
