Truth, and Consequences
The AdTI book on the origins of Linux seems to have been fairly resoundingly debunked here and on Groklaw. Many of the primary sources Brown interviewed have come out and said he was wrong, including Tanenbaum, Stallman and Salus. Ilkka Tuomi says he will be releasing something in the next couple of days.
Annoying though it is to see such slander, in a way it represents a kind of victory. Free software is so successful and so well known that Microsoft feels they need to fund publication of this kind of trash.
