Doug Lenat has proposed using Cyc for interactive fiction or virtual
reality, but the odds that you'll get to incorporate it into TADS are low.
Cyc is free, but you have gto sign a nondisclosure agreement to get it.
They don't mean to put it into the public domain.  They won't even give it
to someone whose security is not good enough for them.

I contacted MCC about 7 months ago and told them I wanted to use Cyc
for interactive fiction.  They said they would mail our department the proper
forms to begin with, but never did.
