Greg is not the founder of CentOS and people need to stop believing his lies. He's said this lie so much that even he believes it.
I don't appreciate being called a liar and I am happy to debate this with anyone else who was actually there.

Greg kurtzer is not the founder of CentOS. This is FUD he's been regurgitating ever since tricking one of the past CentOS community managers into doing a blog post.
If you read the mailing list archives you'll see the truth.
Well that's certainly _one_ way to tell the story, now isn't it, Jonathan.

You can't ban me here for speaking truth like you can on reddit, can you :)
Edit: also, it's literally the true version of the story. Do your own research. It's all public and logged.
Imagine thinking your version of events is always 100% true because someone told it to you.
At least acknowledge you're biased, bro.
And like, have a good weekend. Or whatever. I don't actually give a fuck.
Oh, honey.
Why do you always take every opportunity you can to try and discredit me on this? Anytime someone mentions me, boom, there you are, in every social media, everywhere, being the first to try to discredit to me. As a spokesperson for a competing project, I'd expect a higher level of decency than spreading FUD like this.
I'd be happy to discuss and debate this with you, but you weren't actually there. I tell you what, go find someone else who was actually there at that time, and I'd be happy to discuss it with them publicly.
"Gregory Kurtzer, our CEO and founder," the other CentOS guy.
