Fibre or Fiber

Why is it fibre channel and optical fiber? Why the spelling differences?

For some reason, I only realized this today.

According to: http://jimboston.com/fibre_channel.htm: "The "Fibre" in Fibre Channel is purposely spelled the way it is to denote that it is not only intended for transport down a fiber optic cable. "
