Richard,
I think Richard Stallman is the motivation behind the questions on history.
If I understand right, his thinking is that Linux Gurus without a sense of
history will fall to the same mistakes made by the Microsofts and even the
Apples or the world.
Remember, Stallman insists that people refer to the operating system as "GNU
Linux," since Linux, strictly speaking is just the kernel.
And I think he's right. Without the history, there is no FSF movement.
Without the spirit of the FSF, you would not be putting out this effort
today, for free. A Linux Guru without a sense of history becomes easy
pickings for the next - comptetent - sales pitch.
