Unix techniques, philosophy and, or policies.

Even a many many million times salute to all the creators, developers
and, or maintainers of Unix, FreeBSD, Linux and all Free/Libre Open
Source software projects, who are working hard, head to head and day and

Dr. B--I agree. It seems then that Linux is a rip-off of Unix.
Perhaps we should switch to Unix rather than Linux? Or is the switch
to Linux due to the fact it is free? Free, and stolen.

Linux users remind me of people who shop from fences dealing in stolen
property--it's very cheap but what you're buying is often your
neighbors stolen good, or even your own.
