> Boston Massachusetts, USA - Wednesday January 25, 2006. At the
> ceremony for the 2006 Free Software Awards, Richard Stallman presented
> Andrew Tridgell with the award for the advancement of free software.
> 
> Andrew "Tridge" Tridgell was recognized for his work as originator and
> developer of the Samba project. Samba reverse-engineered Microsoft's
> version of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, which is used for
> file-sharing and print services. This software enables free operating
> systems to fit into Microsoft-based environments, encouraging greater
> use and adoption of free software. Samba has been implemented on
> millions of servers throughout the world. Tridge also released rsync,
> a highly respected remote file-distribution system, and contributed
> code to the Linux kernel.
> 
> During 2005, Tridge wrote a free software client to interoperate with
> BitKeeper, a proprietary revision control system used at the time by
> the Linux kernel developers. His reverse-engineering efforts led
> BitMover Inc. to remove permission for the use of BitKeeper, paving
> the way for a free software replacement. The Linux kernel is now being
> developed using a revision control system called Git, begun by Linus
> Torvalds and licensed under the GPL.
> 
> Every year, three finalists are nominated for the award by the free
> software community. This year's other two finalists were Harmut Pilch,
> recognized as founder of Foundation for a Free Information
> Infrastructure (FFII) and for his leadership during the fight against
