Tomas Rokicki, author of AmigaTeX, was also one of the principal
authors of Web2c, the program used to generate the C version of TeX
run on most Unix machines.  I don't believe any of the standard TeX
distribution has a Radical Eye copyright (I seem to remember greping
the source recently looking for any), but the latest version of dvips
(one of the most commonly used dvi to postscript converters) does.
