Cringely:	You said there was an event in 1996 that "galvanized
		the core team into action", what exactly did you mean?

Hubbard:	Well, you know, made them sit up and take note of
		their professional standards.

Cringley:	<pause> ...And that event was?

Hubbard:	Well, it was when Kim Culhan actually made us realize
		that people were out there *compiling* the thing
		themselves; I mean, that was really astonishing...
		but the *really* astonishing thing was that Kim was
		expecting the thing to *work*, as if the source tree
		itself was an "out of the box" product.

Cringely:	What did Terry say about that?

Hubbard:	Well, you've heard all about Terry; he did what you'd
		expect Terry to do; he wrote a three page article on
		"implied contracts in putting up source trees for
		public download"... <laugh>

Cringely:	<chuckle>... I suppose that's the sort of thing that
		got him called "the Ralph Nader of Software"...

Hubbard:	No, no that came later after the Netscape/Microsoft
		merger, just before they finally pushed S-Patent's
		through congress...
