Linus did not invent computers.
Linus did not invent the concepts underlying operating system fundamentals.
Linus did not invent UNIX. He simply observed UNIX (and obviously Minix) systems and wrote a work-alike kernel.
Linus did not invent an operating system, only a kernel. His kernel his useless without an OS.
Linus did not invent CSH, BASH, or any other command shell clone with UNIX commands.
Linus did not invent the UNIX file system.
Linus did not invent the gcc libaries used to compile code so it can run or a system with Linux.

Linus did invent his own code. Ken Brown says he didn't. And by defending Ken Brown's work, that's what you are saying as well.

Everyone here is pretty sick of your Clinton-style double speak, so I'm telling you where to look for the code, and one method you might use for comparing the two codebases.

If you choose to stick to your guns, then you better do your homework. Find where Linus stole the source code. As I said, there's a buttload of money for you in Utah if you can do it. Otherwise, be a man and admit you were wrong. Or be quiet.

I'm not as radical as you seem to think, I agree with most all of your stuff there. I haven't seen where this guy Brown says Torvalds "stole" code, like you said he did, nor have I seen that accusation any where in the respected press. Is there a link somewhere to this book or is it only for sale? Where does this Brown guy say code was "stolen". My only point is it was based on good ole American Unix, if you get that point you get mine.

Linus did invent his own code.

If you can call reading somebody else's code, sucking out all of their ideas, and writing your own version.
