OK, so I've just stumbled across one small incident but it does make for
hilarious reading for anyone with any interest in the history of
computing and the various "*nix wars" that have rumbled around for
various nefarious reasons...

Two rather old links that still make for good reading and add a little
colour (bad pun on "Brown") to the history of Linux:


Some Notes on the "Who wrote Linux" Kerfuffle, Release 1.5

Rebuttal to Ken Brown

Sometimes, an hour is far too short for a talk but for some too long...


Have fun!
Martin
