This clears up a lot of mysteries (and some of the drama) surrounding Arduino and Wiring that had puzzled me in the past. A bit late in the game to read this but good to know.

Also: not an entirely unusual case. There is always a race for credit for a true success, and it is not always due to real malice (not saying this is the case here.) People have a hard time remembering what came before they were involved, and lack the incentive to find out.
