The word hackathon is combined from the words hack and marathon, where hack is used in the sense exploratory and investigate programming (not as a reference to committing a cybercrime). The term appeared in 1999, seemingly arising independently from open-source software developers of the OpenBSD computer operating system, and Sun Microsystems (which has since been bought by Oracle) marketers. OpenBSD software developer's use of the term referred to a cryptographic development event held in Calgary on 4th June 1999, where small number of developers came together to avoid the legal problems arising from export regulations of cryptographic software from the United States of America (USA).
