This whole document is laughable. The ammount of facts = 0.
My favorite parts are the BSD ones.
"Linux is killing BSD Unix" No accounting for taste. Of course the windows
of the UNIX world is going to be more popular to the masses. But as has
been stated before the *BSD's are not gimp boxes for the home drooler,
were a server OS. In that context we shred Linux. And in many countries
outside the US I would beg to differ on Linux killing us in any regard.
"However, Berkeley put severe restrictions on non-academic uses of
the codebase." ??? Someone is smoking some heavy ganja.
"In order to create a fully free version of BSD UNIX, an ad hoc (but
closed) team of developers created FreeBSD." See above. Im assuming in a
theoretical, backwards, time traveling way these statements tie in with
the BSD/USL thing. I guess. Id have to be smoking what the author is to
understand for sure.
I don't tend to believe this came from MS. While possible I find the
absolute disregard for facts, and Pro Linux, Con BSD tilt to this a little
to strong. I mean if the DOJ has trouble getting dox out of MS, It's not
too likely that something like this would just "slip out" into someones
hands.
Its a good laugh if you need one though.
