Why do you keep on pretending to have a point that interests anyone?

Who's pretending Linux is Unix? I don't think anyone here in COLA is.

I thought it was comp.os.linux.advocacy?
Although in reading the messages it's more like "alt.hate.microsoft".

Well, prolific and learned Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook:

http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/fdocs/do...6-2454_008.pdf

-------
One prominent example of free, open-source software
is the Linux operating system, a derivative of the Unix
operating system written by AT&T in the 1960s and now
available without cost. (Unix® is a trademark of The Open
Group, but the source code to many variants of AT&T’s
work is freely available.) Linux is one of many modern
derivatives of Unix—which is not itself under the GPL.
Thus Apple Computer, which uses the Berkeley Software
Distribution variant of Unix as the foundation for the Mac
OS X operating system, is entitled to charge for its software.
Linux, initially the work of Linus Torvalds, is maintained
by a large open-source community. International
Business Machines offers Linux with many of its servers, or
customers can install it themselves. IBM has contributed
code to the Linux project and furnishes this derivative work
to anyone else with an interest. Red Hat, Inc., sells media
(such as DVDs), manuals, and support for the installation
and maintenance of Linux. The GPL covers only the
software; people are free to charge for the physical media on
which it comes and for assistance in making it work. Paper
manuals, and the time of knowledgeable people who service
and support an installation, thus are the most expensive
part of using Linux.

alexander.

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. Does the provision of
copyrighted software under the GNU General Public
License ("GPL") violate the federal antitrust laws? Authors
who distribute their works under this license, devised by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc., authorize not only
copying but also the creation of derivative works-and the
license prohibits charging for the derivative work. People
may make and distribute derivative works if and only if
they come under the same license terms as the original
work


what's wrong with these lawyer-judges-etc-guys?
can't they just read the GNU GPL first? or can they read?
am I missing something??

from GNU GPL:

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you
wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.

That was totally uncalled for and it doesn't make the BSD
operating systems look better. It only makes us, their users,
look like immature, name-calling children.

I'm sure we can find more productive ways to let the world know
that BSD is better for such and such work, Linux works better in
such and such cases, etc.

Hamsters love discussing duct tape. Otherwise why would there be a group
called alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.bestiality.hamster.d uct-tape.d?
