The Real Story behind the Cathedral and the Bazaar
Ciaran has an interesting summary of the glibc/libc fork that suggests a prequel story to the famous “Cathedral and the Bazaar” essay. The Linux kernel developers bazaar development didn’t mesh with the cathedral development of the GNU project’s glibc, so they forked off their own libc project. But the glibc version improved and eventually all the GNU/Linux distributions switched back. I actually remember that happening, it was just when I started using GNU/Linux for the first time :-)
