Where do you get off saying they "stole" Open Source software? Do you seriously think that they are violating the GPL? Or are you just pissed that they are making money off of the GNU compiler and development tools? A lot of companies are, and are doing it legally. You must be with SCO.
So what it it took 6 months? The amount of time that the system was (is) expected to operate was known, the rate of file accumulation ought to have been known. The effect of a full file system on normal operations should have been tested. On completely different topic, diagnosing and correcting the problem was a phenomenal feat in my opinion. I wonder if the same developer(s) who wrote the original code were the ones who pulled off this amazing repair job. Simply fantastic.
I agree. Even after you buy the $25,000 development system, you still need to pay a negotiated licencse fee for each system you distribute. I expect there will be another chapter to this story shortly.
The Russians brought back samples from the moon 3 times between 1970 and 1976 (and, um, how could it have been anything BUT automated?). The first was the Luna 16 mission:

How about the DEC Rainbow? I almost bought one when I found out that it had PIP. Budget prevailed and I waited a couple of years and had my debut with the Tandy 1200... the selling point for me was the 10Mbyte hard drive.

Oh for goodness sake! The Apollo missions were over long before there was a 386. Geez.

Love your photographs!
