In 2000, Kyle Sallee released a Linux distribution named Sorcerer GNU/Linux. However, Chuck S. Mead wanted to re-establish his previously failed fork of RedHat under the same name of "Lunar Linux." Therefore, CSM recruited developers directly out of the Sorcerer GNU Linux project in order to create the first fork of Sorcerer GNU Linux. The fork, currently called "Source Mage" was later created with a hostile annexation of the project that Kyle Sallee registered at savannah.gnu.org. Forkers demoted Kyle Sallee from project leader and removed his name from the project page. The second fork continued to masquerade as "Sorcerer GNU Linux" until Kyle Sallee's project was registered at berlios.de and released under a non GNU GPL license which was meant to discourage hostile forkers.
