The opening page Behat/Using Behat proposes a scenario that Linus Torvalds requests help building ls. I understand this is a thought experiment and a made-up scenario, but perhaps a note in the script indicating the factual origins of ls would serve as a further educational opportunity and show respect for the effort of the GNU authors.
The man page of ls from GNU coreutils lists the Author: Richard M. Stallman and David MacKenzie. The BSD-variants use a different ls, presumably with different authors. The command originated in Multics.
Hey @cjwillcock! That's a great idea :). As you mentioned, it was not meant to be incorrect, but people love history anyways, so why not thank some of the other important people from computing history.
