The little birdie sometimes has trouble holding a tune. Once upon a time, Tweety chirped that Linux was stolen American technology being used without charge by the ChiComs and other nifarious ferners. Now it's eeeevil foreign software. No wonder he can't keep an individual's nationality straight.
It's funny and frigtening at the same time...
Linux is a foreign clone of American Unix that came from Finland and has resulted in our Unix technology being transferred into it and subsequently given away to the rest of the world for free. If that's too complex a thought for you, maybe your mother can explain it sometime.
