- GianFabien 2y agoThe Wikipedia entry you cite has "The book was greeted with widespread rejection by the technical world and was repudiated by many of its claimed sources." near the beginning. However, my point is not about copyright,etc. I'm simply pointing out, as Linus has clearly stated in the early days, that he booted a system with Minix and used it to start up the development of what he ended up calling Linux. Over the 30+ years since then, I would suspect that any carryover from Minix is long gone. Even support for Minix filesystem appears (to me) to be deprecated.
