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:
“This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
