Lol, How close was I? Alongside Google, and bastardized/took advantage of Linux in the process... X/

You are doing a good job at trying to chase all this down. It's a lot of work you are in line for. ;)

Open source vs. commercial mindset.

I once had to try to explain to management how you can make money on something that is 'free' (like linux). Not an easy task.

One of our younger non techi relatives, who survives in today’s world without a personal pc. He uses his Iphone 6 and IPad. Early this year, he watched a late night PBS show on computers and their operating systems.

He said the experts, phds from the bay area/Sillycon Valley finally agreed with a Stanford PHD, who said that all operating systems were incestful. He challenged the pro Apple guys to prove him wrong re how they turned a Linux kernel/system into their system.

Our relative said no one on the panel really challenged him.
