No it was reverse engineered, go as Linus he states that. I think he would
know :D

I like Unix but Linux is the chance to move on, its starting to get stale
and the amount of work to maintain, customse etc is just alot compared to
competing platforms thesedays and this is an important factor on the desktop
nevermind the server room.
 
:-) Fellow AT&T System V guy? I remember going to Dayton, Ohio in the Labs
for two weeks for classes. That was fun. I don't really remember the os
that much. I remember having fits with LifeKeeper, however :-)
 
oh my god i'v created a monster.
let me revise:
is it microsofts intention to make MSIL runtime host (CLR) available
for a number of platforms other than windows?
just like VM is available for windows.
 
The CLI specification is out there, does Microsoft make a C runtime for
Linux? no. I would presume its up to 3rd parties, hence rotor was released.
Everybody has the ECMA specs.

I'm not sure if I completely with Kudzu but here's the way I understand the
situation.

Unix is a trademark owned by the Open Group "http://www.opengroup.org/").
The trademark Unix can only be legally used by operating systems that they
certify as being a Unix system. There are only a few select operating
systems that have this certification. These include AIX and Sun Soloris.
There is also confusion because people may often speak of Unix-like
operating systems which are designed to have the same look and feel as
Unix.

In fact, as I recall, there was a lawsuit recently between Apple and the
Open Group where the Open Group claimed that Apple was misusing the
trademark. Apple's counter-suing claiming that the term Unix has become so
generic that the trademark is now invalid. Such things have happened
before with words such as aspirin, escalator, and thermos.
