Torvalds “did not invent Linux”

“It is clear that people’s exceptional interest in the Unix operating system made Unix one of the most licensed, imitated, and stolen products in the history of computer science. Over the years, many have envied the startling and pervasive success of Unix. For almost thirty years, programmers have tried and failed to successfully build a Unix-like system and couldn’t. To this day, we have a serious attribution problem in software development because people have chosen to scrupulously borrow or imitate Unix.”
