Due to

Does "due to" mean "in respect to"?

"A popular alternative definition of a distributed system, due to Leslie Lam-port, is "You know you have one when the crash of a computer you've never heard of stops you from getting any work done."

No, due to just seems wrong to me. I think the intended meaning is that Leslie is the one who spoke the words, ie by Leslie Lam-port. Clive
