I seem to remember, relatively shortly after that, a tendency on the net
to differentiate between "open source" and "Open Source". Earlier in
this thread, I mentioned MINIX 1, from 1987. That version of the OS was
open source, but not, by the later definition, Open Source.
(Prentice-Hall, being a publishing company, insisted on having the
copyright, but the source code was printed in the book, and you could
order it on floppies or tape for $80.)
