Re: [Skunkworks] Did Linus really reverse engineer the Unix Kernel or did he add more innovative features to it?

This debate (as usual) has degenerated into hard line positions where each side believes the other side is useless. Further debate will be quite pointless as positions are entrenched and no one is interested in acknowledging the other's views. All I can say it is patently absurd for either side (proprietary oropen source) to claim sole responsibility for innovation and progress in the sector. If people stepped back from hard line positions this would be apparent.
