Myths and legends

The realm of computers there's a lot of myths and legends.  There's like with the creation of Linux as a hacker OS, which is bullshit.  When Linus Torvalds created Linux, he wanted something similar to what he was using something in in Helsinki university; which was SunOS, so later came Linux and it being security focused; with the help of the GNU foundation.   Now onto GNU, Richard Stallman was a rebel in his own right.  When using Unix in the MIT artificial intelligence lab, he became tired of the politics of Unix and other hardware vendor's that basically said sharing is bad and not being able to fix problems in software code.  Well he later resigned from MIT and started the GNU foundation project, with the philosophy of freeing up the code and being able to share the source code, as well as allowing people to fix any bugs that are found and to improve on it.  But rebels in the IT industry go back even further and all males.  Grace Hopper was a navy woman who worked on various top secret projects, but one of the most most notably was working on a code breaking machine, she later developed several programming environments.  One of the most notable was COBAL which was and still is a very powerful programming language.  When the IT industry first started, it was done by a majority of women.  Which is why more women are being encouraged to enter the IT industry again.  Just a few facts for people to check out and some new directions for people to go in, later on..
