I'm also Apple's biggest cheerleader, there's little difference between them and Microsoft in this fight against free Linux.
You forget the fact that Red Hat got Linux from somewhere else
No it's originally a foreign copy, I mention it all the time. Too bad our traditional Unix companies like Sun, SCO, Silicon Graphics and Cray got crushed in the process.
SCO started as a poorly managed Linux company, and subsequently poorly managed the UNIX business they purchased. The rest you can blame on Intel and AMD, as their commodity processors got so fast that they filled much of the market previously held by Sun, SGI and Cray.
