"Ralph Metzler is just another one of those 'thousands of developers' you hear
about developing software for Linux. Ralph was checking out the sources for 
the 
Linux 2.3 kernel, and he noticed that a chunk of memory conversion routines 
were copied line for line out of his bttv.c video driver source into Nvidia's 
code. "

Not "just another one". Ralph is Marcus' brother, who demonstrated an early
version of his bttv driver a couple of years ago in a TLUG meeting!
