| schestowitz[TR2] | Hi, Akira, | Jun 06 15:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | One thing which stands out was that in the 1990s, at least in academia, FOSS was the norm in ICT. Better yet, it was growing by leaps and bounds outside of academia as well as the 2000s approached. There were several good reasons for that, all centered around the flexibility one keeps by staying with FOSS tools, including programming languages and their supporting modules. | Jun 06 15:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What has changed is the corporate capture of most (that I know of) universities. Much of the public has been trained now to see universities not as centers for advancement, research, and learning but instead as captive markets for failed or otherwise dodgy business models. | Jun 06 15:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Dr Andy Farnell has written a lot about that capture, among other things. See the following URL for one such article: | Jun 06 15:46 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Anyway, about notable events, for a few decades, Perl was the ubiquitous glue with which the Internet and, especially, the WWW was held together. It was notable for Artistic License which was later adjusted to become GPL compatible. However, I cannot find the original release date for the Artistic License 1.0. But for what it's worth, both versions are here: | Jun 06 15:46 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Even the first version of SSH by Tatu Ylönen in 1995 was FOSS, though the signed tarballs seem lost to time (or maybe malevolent mopping up). | Jun 06 15:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Also in 1995, the Apache web server was released as FOSS. Of the next two years, most web masters retired their home made web servers and moved to Apache. Within months it became the most deployed web server on the net. It was derived from its FOSS ancestor, the NCSA http daemon. As with the original SSH, the original tarball seems lost to time (or maybe malevolent mopping up). The timeline seems to make a point of omitting men | Jun 06 15:46 |
