Linux is not a "rip off". Your style of argument is unconvincing and perjorative. You may be a bigot, a troll, or maybe an astroturfer. Do you work for microsoft or sco? Do you have irons in the fire? It seems likely. Or are you just a psuedonym for Nick Danger?

Wrong. It is most certainly a ripoff of Unix. How you can sit there and claim otherwise is unfathomable.

Repeat after me. Reverse engineering is good. There would be no PC revolution if Compaq had not have reverse engineered IBM's PC BIOS. Ironically, I think the code in question inside Linux will turn out to be IBM intellectual property put their at IBM's approval.
