I have a vague memory in a cobwebbed corner of my mind that the old NeXT system software had a gamma value of 1. I couldn't find a citation for that, but if I don't have a misfiring neuron this would be the 2nd time that this software has gone through a change in gamma.
Edit: Here is a paragraph that, at least, supports where I got this memory from:
Taken from http://www.bberger.net/rwb/gamma.html http://www.bberger.net/rwb/gamma.html
"Some display systems such as NeXT's and SGI's contain hardware lookup tables that correct for monitor gamma. On these systems the frame buffer values provided by the application are corrected for the gamma of the CRT by a lookup table in the display controller, producing a display system gamma of 1.0 which linearly maps frame buffer values into intensity."
