   Boole used different symbols. the symbol ∨ is from Principia Mathematica   
   by Russell and Whitehead. In any ordinary formal logic every one can   
   from A always infer A ∨ B with any B.   
      
   Some formulations of logic do not use ∨ as a primitive symbol. In these   
   formulations it can be defined in terms of primitive symbols, e.g. as   
   ¬A → B.
