Interesting article on Linux



Hi -

I found this recently - it discusses the development of Linux and the
open source style of development.  It contains some interesting data
about the development of Linux.  Sadly, it seems to think only MIT,
AT&T, and the GNU license were significant precursors.  Seems like
Berkeley ought to get some credit for popularizing and distributing
important contributions to Unix world before Linux.
