Talk:History of Open Source

in the beginning...
Hello. I have just created this page. I am using much of the text from a college paper I wrote using various sources which I have carefully documented. This page was missing. Difficult thing to research. I also feel like the organization of the open source pages is lacking right now and I will want to work on that next, if anyone cares. Please let me know if you think this is biased or anything else anyone cares about. I think it's quite good, myself. Thanks!! Irayna 22:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)irayna

 * Yes, I've done so. Glad someone's watching. Irayna 23:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

GNU != Open Source
At the GNU Project, we do not create 'Open Source', but we create 'Free Software' - it is unfair and misleading to attribute this term to the GNU project. Mattl 22:44, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I second that! The History of Open Source began in 1998 and not earlier. This article should be edited to reflect that.

References bad
Links on a couple of the ref's are bad, anyone care to tackle it? TonyLechner 04:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Just software?
Why is this just about software?--Darrelljon 21:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Merge?
Shouldn't this article be merged with history of free software? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.134.181.224 (talk) 12:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

What about OSI?
Why this arcticle doesn't mention Open Source Initiative at all? OSI was crucial in estabilishing the term Open Source. Azrael Nightwalker (talk) 13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
