If you want to be pedantic, nor was the linux kernel.
- pjmlp 3y agoLinux kernel by its nature was designed to be taken away, source code ripped off and massaged into anything with a CPU to run a custom modification of it. There are lots of stuff running a "Linux kernel" that have little to no resemblance to a default build from upstream.
