Thomas Bushnell removed from Hurd developmentThomas Bushnell removed from Hurd developmentPosted Nov 19, 2003 18:18 UTC (Wed) by lolando (subscriber, #7139)In reply to: Thomas Bushnell removed from Hurd development by trutkin Parent article: Thomas Bushnell is no longer Hurd maintainer > He could always fork it, if he wanted to. Yeah. The simple way to do that would be to just drop the "GNU" part in all instances of "Debian GNU/Hurd". It's not like GNU were developed outside of Debian anyway.

As such GNU is a good name for a free operating system - whether it is endorsed by the FSF or not. Hopefully not too much documentation for The Hurd has been released under the GFDL.

It's always been an open system, but it didn't start out open source. GNU's not UNIX for a lot of reasons, some of which have nothing to do with the license and everything to do with the OS design. And as far as the OS design is concerned, Linux is more a traditional "UNIX" than a lot of the systems that are currently running real live honest-to-Ritchie Bell Labs code, including the OS running on Dennis Ritchie's desktop right now.
