Most open information concerning Cyc had been deliberately removed circa 2015, at the moment when Cycorp pivoted to commercial applications.

Makes one wonder how much a research being open makes a difference in its real-world success in the current age. Cyc's competitors (LLMs etc.) arguably have a lot to attribute to open public participation for its successes. Perhaps things would have been difference had Lenat been more open with the project?

Now that Lenat is dead, can his PhD project code and EURISKO code be released?
