Of course, the argument about who created the Arduino has only really come to the surface after both Arduino #1 and Arduino #2 claim to own the "moral rights" to Arduino. The US trademark case drags on interminably
https://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/mad/167131/ with legal arguments amounting to "You suck!", "No, YOU suck!".
It is ironic that while the corporate Arduinos fight over the name, the actual concept and implementation of the system was invented by someone else. Barragan's name appears in some of the copyright notices in the Arduino source code.
Anyway, I suggested to Massimo Banzi he should not waste money on lawyers, but instead "
Rebrand as 'Arduino Original' or something". I don't know if he even read that, but they seem to be doing that with "Genuino".
