Huh? What about csh, ksh, even others? bash is FSF/GNU stuff. Is that why we have to use it? And gmake, too? All of xfree86 can be build without bash or gmake. Mozilla can be built without bash but requires gmake. bash and gmake are awfully bloated, in my opinion -- don't mind losing karma for stating the truth.
That was Andrew Tannenbaum in his networking book -- just a minute, i'll go get the thing for a decent citation -- here it is: "Computer Networks." That's where "Never underestimate..." comes from.
Hi, Mom!
You can sell GPL software if you find someone who doesn't know that they can get it for free. The only reason anyone would buy GPL is that they don't know this or hope to get a "turnkey" package by paying someone to do the configuration or whatever it needs.
Maybe Vixie let them do what they have done.
Must be a disappointment that all you get
to see is what you already could have seen
in your own kernel, huh?
GPL will fall.
It isn't free. When I got enlightenment (realized that gnome was all i-candy), went back to twm. No joke, it is alright and not so resource hungry -- now CDs play with fewer dropouts, too. Plus, why is it a patch? Shouldn't things like this be designed-in? (He who lives by the patch dies by the patch).
"He also shed light on his decision to leave chip maker Transmeta for a Linux corporate software consortium, the Open Source Development Lab"
A Linux corporate software consortium?
Owned by our reporter's own Value Added Linux -- err, Vaule Added Software?
Mod me down, way down.
It should be remembered that Linus, himself, grew up in Finland, neighbor, for much of his life, to the Soviet Union. So, he and other Finns were influenced by the communist monster next door. Go along to get along. It would be interesting to learn how much of Linus' mind was formed by his early experiences in such an environment and how his mind might have differed if he had grown up in a different place. Does his head Dr. read/. and might shed some light on this?
In gnome they are paying tribute to the great white father "Gnu," when they name something gn-something.
What do you suppose is going on with k-desktop, k-games, etc.?
$CO claims that IBM leaked the IP into Linux, so, if that is true, then the leaked code is probably in some of IBM's contributions: in these ports: S390, ppc, and ppc64. Also, some filesystem code.
Just trying to help...

Hi, Mom!
Sure glad we buggered the software to give us a small cut of everything. Who says free software doesn't pay.

"...a testament to the quality of the code several lines are still in use ..."
What percentage of the original lines?
It is lian li. Their add is even on this same page! Coincidence?
They don't tarball the release candidate sources. But the release candidate sources are one of the nightly builds -- they don't say which one.
Heavy SCOtch drinkers risk getting the DTs.
