The EU says sorry for making Linux
- Retric 8y agoYou mean that reimplemention of US originated UNIX, managed by the guy who moved to the US? ;-)
- dgut 8y agoTo be fair, there wouldn't be any Linux without Unix & C, but there would definitely exist many other "Linux", e.g the __superior__ FreeBSD. Not diminishing Linux's achievements in any way. :-)
- Lennu 8y agoOne could say, to be fair, there wouldn't be any Unix & C without the mathematics of Gottfried Leibniz from Germany. This discussion is ridiculous. https://www.google.com/doodles/gottfried-wilhelm-leibnizs-372nd-birthday https://www.google.com/doodles/gottfried-wilhelm-leibnizs-37...
- arcticbull 8y agoAnd the world-wide web (Tim Berners-Lee at CERN)
- blfr 8y agoEven Linus left for the US.
- EpicEng 8y agoUNIX was invented in the US and Linus came over to the states, so...
