So I'm claiming "first all-Linux" EPICS machine at first light.  While I'm claiming firsts, I'd also like to try to claim a last. Andrew Johnson might like to check for me this if at all possible, I think we were the last major facility to sign an EPICS license agreement, rather than the current EPICS open licence it is now.

I don’t have the data to confirm that anymore, unfortunately. The two lists of licensees on the APS website are both sorted and don’t contain dates, and I removed the code and database that handled license applications when we switched to the EPICS Open License.
