Re: GPLv3 comedy unfolding -- raya's research on "The Four Freedoms"

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   Even before the 80s, "kernel" was a widely used and fairly
   well-defined term. From Ralston's "Encyclopedia of Computer Science
   and Engineering", 2nd Edition (Copyright © 1983 Van Nostrand
   Reinhold):

Most of the books I have speak about "system monitor" (mostly stuff
from the 1960's), and not kernel.  But that is a minor point.

Again, it depends on who you speak to, who you read, and what you
learnt.
