   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.

   No, it stands for ROtate (bits) Right.

   Commodore didn't knew what woke means.

   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.
