    Well-deserved, I’m sure.

    Awarded to an institution or individual(s) recognized for developing a software system that has had a lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts, in commercial acceptance, or both.

    A little curious of why Torvalds hasn’t been a recipient of this award. He has two quite notable pieces of software that has lasting influence and enormous commercial acceptance.

      Which does not mean that people like A.S. Tanenbaum should not be deserving recognition. With other words, your comment does not contribute to this thread.

      Agreed. It doesn’t make Tannenbaum’s achievements any less significant, however.
