A Colombian the almost true inventor of ARDUINO

[compsystems]

I am proud that a Colombian was really the almost-inventor of this great educational machine
Hermando Barragan says http://arduinohistory.github.io/



I started Wiring project in 2003 as my Master’s thesis project at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Italy.
Thesis: http://people.interactionivrea.org/h.ba ... ow_res.pdf

as I understood, was based on ARDUINO WIRING, if the thesis Hermando Barragan, did not specify copyright, anyone can be based on it, now what has been the recognition of Hermando Barragan?

Texas Instruments (TI) also has a project launchpad based on Arduino, TI has recognized this, launchpad Arduino based project or better in WIRING?

TI's Innovator is based on their MSP432 Launchpad board - it has nothing to do with an Arduino board wiring as far as I know ?
