[net.micro] The GNU Manifesto - "Operating Systems will be removed from the realm of competition."

brad@looking.UUCP (Brad Templeton) (03/23/85)

I think this quote says it all.  I'm glad that I don't think RMS will
succeed.  If he gets his way, unix will be the last operating system, as
nobody will upgrade it for a long, long time.

For those who remain unconvinced, look that the clearest free software
example available - news.  Because news is free the original authors have
long ago stopped major work on it.  Nobody has gotten up the impetus to
change the fundamental concepts, and it has spread far enough with no
control that it's very difficult to try.

My predition is that the utility of GNU will follow closely the path this
network has taken.
