Interview with Havoc Pennington of Red Hat (OSNews)Interview with Havoc Pennington of Red Hat (OSNews)Posted Sep 16, 2003 1:40 UTC (Tue) by ncm (subscriber, #165)Parent article: Interview with Havoc Pennington of Red Hat (OSNews) I feel honored to have been (mis-)quoted by the great Havoc Pennington. At the end of the interview, he (mis-)used my couplet from the Gcc libstdc++ FAQ: "When will it be done? Sooner, if you help.".

Interview with Havoc Pennington of Red Hat (OSNews) Posted Sep 17, 2003 1:45 UTC (Wed) by hp (subscriber, #5220) [Link] Sorry, I'm pretty sure I ripped you off _via_ RMS though. ;-)I didn't know it was yours originally. Seems to be a popular confusion:

Or, it might be the Matthew Effect at work. I wouldn't mind so much if it's the latter, I just want to keep the quote grammatically correct. :-)If in fact it's really the former, my apologies to RMS. If the latter, I'm flattered that RMS quoted me too, and correctly.

His comment was in reference to the release of Linux 1.0, in 1992: see.RMS might have used it in 1998, in private. In any case the notorious net.kook Erik Naggum posted it in reference to the Emacs 20.4 release, toward the end of that year. My use was in April of the following year, and people were quoting RMS saying it a few months later.
