Free Software/open source often gets a bad rap for innovating. It just rips-off the work of commercial developers, right? Not so, as this Linux Format piece argues. FLOSS has pioneered, or been a catalyst in, some notable changes in the computing world. Several of these innovations are OS-related.

Really? Wikipeda sure don't say that it started out closed-source. The keyboard is "continue". They formed RealVNC to continuue working on OSS and non-OSS versions. Obviously in order to contionue working on something that's open-source it was already open-source before.
