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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
