Has it really been long enough that this is no longer common knowledge? Before it was "wikileaks founder was open source contributor", it was "open source name has wiki thing for document leaks".
Of course that all happened in the long long ago so there is no reason to dwell on it. It's not like every news story that has been trying to craft a hack narrative to explain Assange's actions and motivations to the public has fallen short of slashdot comments circa 2005.
There's no reason to know anything about the past. Back then we developed everything in COBOL using Waterfall because no big brains were around to coin the word "agile" yet and save us from ourselves. And subversion server side hooks didn't even exist because nobody had coined the phrase "continuous deployment" yet. Dark times indeed.
