It was supposed to happen 1975 with the introduction of the 6502, but
then didn't happen due to a bug. Thus it happened early 1976 in a
revision of said CPU.

Oh, you're not talking about CPUs. ;-)

Well I don't know for "Restore Our Rights". They'd probably need to have
the power to change expiration laws. As far as I can tell not even the
mighty Disney company was able to prevent Steamboat Willy from falling
into public domain earlier this year.
