If my memory serves me correctly, NuBus is an IEEE standard and
available to anyone who wishes to use it.  It does not BELONG
(thankfully) to anyone.  It's like making an 802.3 network card, i.e.,
EtherNet.  You make it and sell it, there may be some sort of fee to be
paid to the IEEE or the standards committee or whatever, but no corp.
owns the rights to it.
