I guess giving proper credit is tricky.

Even if Aaron's name is mentioned now at 
http://nseries.com/770experience_2/hacks_vnc.htm isn't it still a bit 
unfair for developers of original VNC(viewer) if their (probably big 
chunk of) code was used? This was just an example, same issues can be 
raised for other entries.

In similar way this slide gave me a laugh.

It was indeed very good idea from you guys by still it feels a bit funny 
to me to attribute whole virtual memory system in linux to someone who 
figured out how to run swapon command on n770 :-) I guess guys who wrote 
swapping code in linux kernel could feel a bit like Aaron here.

Let's have patience with our managers and marketing people :-)
