Thomas Bushnell removed from Hurd developmentThomas Bushnell removed from Hurd developmentPosted Nov 20, 2003 22:45 UTC (Thu) by argent (guest, #17054)In reply to: Thomas Bushnell removed from Hurd development by dd9jn Parent article: Thomas Bushnell is no longer Hurd maintainer "Remember that GNU stands for GNUs Not Unix to name the fact that once Unix turned proprietary." Buddy, it didn't *turn* proprietary. 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.
