From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As the article says, only when it blew up.

The article also seems to say that he didn't bother to disprove the mistaken findings and so Mozilla might've not even heard anything back until it blew up. The whole thing seems to have happened pretty quickly.

Yeah, I know. If I was in a sensible mood this AM, I probably wouldn't have started this chain. But if you look back to my first comment, I did say it was probably a coincidence.
