They did it anyway... I have seen lots Commodore systems that used 
EL7406, EL74LS14 and others. Those have no makers logo, come in a brown 
casing instead of the usual black and are, as far as I know, russian in 
origin.

As far as the MOS77xx are concerned... I have a C16 with a 7714 in it, 
that's a replacement for a 74LS02. Still works.
