C'mon Ted, you knew what he meant, there's no reason to be that snarky.
For anyone who does not know, __david__ is most likely referring to the GNU coreutils and GNU diffutils, which do indeed credit Richard Stallman in the AUTHOR section, not any BSD, AT&T or other versions of those utilities.
- tedunangst 12y agoThe now deleted comment above, (not by __david___ but the context for this thread), claimed that Stallman wrote all of the software that all of us use. That's not strictly true, for ls nor for diff.
- __david__ 12y agoNo it did not. It claimed he wrote many of the command line tools that we might use on our computers. It used coreutils ls as an example, but without qualifying it perfectly. Then the pedants started responding. :-)
