The GNU implementation of 'yes' looks like a meme, true. And FSF behaves sluggish, true. The rants about the bash and glibc lack actual foundation. Same for the comparsion with C++. And there is nothing wrong with long options or adding more useful options. 1956 Thanks the the consent decree from 1956 AT&T wasn't allowed to enter new markets and license patents royalty free, what we got was UNIX and C and open code. They regulated AT&T positively! Probably the best thing the United States Department of Justice did. They ditched capitalism and everything got better by magnitudes! 1983 The US Department of Justic setteled a consent degree with AT&T. Probably the worst thing the Department of Justice did. They allowed them to split up and do whatever they would. Full capitalism! Since then the US have seen no market regulation. What followed wear UNIX-Wars, lawsuits and finally companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple. You want blame someone? Blame the government. But I see two lessons. The regulation has worked. Single fines (punishment) or splitting about doesn't. AT&T is again the largest telecommunication company and UNIX was busted. I'm thankfully for what we learned from UNIX, that POSIX gave us some guidelines in the past, the C Language and finally all the descendants - Linux, GNU, C++, GCC, BSD Network Stack and GCC...and finally LSP (works wonderfull with NEOVIM and CLANG).
