"Yes, that is true now.  However, it is virtually impossible to implement either
NFS or NeWS without the reference source."

There are counterexamples to this.  There are at least two no-cost
implementations of Postscript, both capable of writing to screens, done with
using the reference source.  And of course many people have done NFS from the
specs.

We here have done one of each (although ours are not publically available).
