In 1996, the Linux magazine, Linux Gazette , which was at the time managed by creator John M. Fisk, was transferred to SSC (under Phil Hughes) on the understanding that the publication would continue to be open, free and non-commercial. Due to conflicts between SSC and Linux Gazette staff members, the magazine split into two competing groups which still remain separated.
