There's a brief biography of Werdna, as Andrew was known, on Wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_C._Greenberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_C._Greenberg> He was also among the hackers featured in Steven Levy's Hackers, and was a regular attendee of the Hackers Convention which has occurred annually since the book's publication in 1986. This year marks the 39th occurrence: <https://www.hackersconference.org/ https://www.hackersconference.org/> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Compute...> His jump from programming to law (which he saw as a form of hacking) was also notable. During the 1990s he'd often be found correcting misapprehensions, and occasionally affirming understandings, of intellectual property law particularly as concerned Free Software licencing and patents. Edit: He was also a key developer, advocate, and enthusiast of the Squeak Smalltalk OOD language: <https://web.archive.org/web/20000818185735/http://www.gate.net/~werdna/squeak-qref.html https://web.archive.org/web/20000818185735/http://www.gate.n...> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeak> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalltalk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalltalk> RIP, Werdna.
