>From my declaration for the Bernstein case:
http://www.eff.org/pub/Privacy/ITAR_export/Bernstein_case/Legal/960726_filing/ellison.decl
" 18. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is an excerpt from the August
1967 CACM, giving another example of an article which consists solely of
source code.
19. In addition, the Exhibit C includes the August, 1967,
statement of the algorithm policy of the Association for Computer
Machinery. The policy notes:
It is necessary, but not sufficient for the published algorithm
to operate on some machine and give correct answers. It must also
communicate a method to the reader in a clear and unambiguous
manner. All contributions will be refereed by human beings and
by an appropriate compiler.
"
That is, of course, not the only example.
