There was about 10+ years between the two events. AT bagged Linux in the early-mid 90's. A couple of years ago some dodgy guy named Ken Brown working for a puppet organisation working for (probably) SCO interviewed AT for a 'book' about how Linus couldn't have written Linux. AT's take on it is a good read: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/brown/ Cheers, Carl.
