bgk··on Lisp-stat: An environment for Statistical Computing
Right, from my understanding, Lisp-Stat originated with Luke Tierney.

The latest efforts to extend and work with those ideas/code base are at https://github.com/blindglobe/common-lisp-stat and work by Tamas Papp (https://tamaspapp.eu/post/orphaned-lisp-libraries/)

Forking open source code is fine, but why try to take over the name?

bgk··on Lisp-stat: An environment for Statistical Computing
Did Symbolics Pte. Ltd. bother to contact Luke Tierney[1] before taking both his code and name and co-opting them as their own?

(I guess the downvotes for a reasonable question provide the answer)
