Thankfully in this case something is happening and the compiler
IP has been transferred to new owners.

However, releasing everything to the public domain is not an
option.  The compilers at Kednos have been used to produce just
about every non-IBM PL/I compiler around.  There has been quite
a bit of sharing over the years between Kednos (previously
Uniprise, Language Processors and Translation Systems)  and so
simply releasing it just isn't an option.
