And for the public release he named it Freax. It didn't stick.
Poor, helpless Linus. He lacked the ability to name his own pile of bits. /SARCASM
Borrowed = copied. The MINIX author and Brown's own researcher says that didn't happen. Get that into your head!
You can't seem to get this through your thick cranium. Borrowed means he sucked up the concepts and adapted them for his own use in Linux. It doesn't mean he copied the code:
Tanenbaum: "I told him that MINIX had clearly had a huge influence on Linux in many ways, from the layout of the file system to the names in the source tree, but I didn't think Linus had used any of my code."
Hey everybody, Bush walked up to Linus with a gun and squeezed the trigger. Linus is now dead! Don't try to claim libel. After all, I didn't actually say you killed him.
Dude, you're unstable. Seek counseling.
You can't seem to get this through your thick cranium. Borrowed means he sucked up the concepts and adapted them for his own use in Linux. It doesn't mean he copied the code: "Borrowed" concepts, fine. But you said "borrowed code" which means copied, stole. Keep up the backtracking Bush. That plus if you'd read the article, you'd know that Brown assumed there would be copied code in Linux and counted on it for support of his book. Copied code was to be the centerpiece of his argument. Notice how he went into denial when he found out there was none.
But minus the support for the central theme in his book he published anyway. Really honest, huh?
Dude, you're unstable. Seek counseling.
You're trying to say that because you never used the word "stole" you didn't claim he stole. But you've used every other word in the book to say the same thing.
