Groklaw's 'Grokline' To Document *nix History

Posted by timothy on from the would-make-a-great-poster-but-an-awful-postcard dept.

trick-knee writes "Grokline hopes to fill in the ownership aspect of the history of UNIX. According to the announcement on Groklaw.net, Pamela Jones intends to flesh out Eric Levenez's UNIX timeline with ownership information. The idea is that this is an application of the open source model in the area of law: if enough eyes see this, someone might be able to anticipate a legal attack and the community may be able to forestall it somehow. We don't really want another SCO foodfight, I don't think."

    Maybe a two button mouse built into the powerbooks?

    A CPU that is not quite so far behind.

    An OS upgrade policy that doesn't make the OS 2-3 times as much as it appears.

    For apple to not be *quite* so greedy?
