No sabía que estaba en un google group :O
Siempre leí de a pedazos en otros lugares o grupos afines...

Voy a transcribir dos partes que creo que aportan mucho a la gran
diferencia de filosofías pero les debo la traducción al Español:

La primer cita es la primer parte de la primer respuesta de Torvalds a
Tanenbaum (1)

  Re 1: you doing minix as a hobby - look at who makes money off minix,
  and who gives linux out for free.  Then talk about hobbies.  Make minix
  freely available, and one of my biggest gripes with it will disappear.
  Linux has very much been a hobby (but a serious one: the best type) for
  me: I get no money for it, and it's not even part of any of my studies
  in the university.  I've done it all on my own time, and on my own
  machine.

Y la segunda cita que quisiera hacer es una respuesta de Tanenbaum en
el mismo hilo luego de la intervención de Torvalds, a donde se ve
mucho mejor a donde quiero llegar con mis citas ;)

  Another option that seems to be totally forgotten here is buy UNIX or a
  clone.  If you just want to USE the system, instead of hacking on its
  internals, you don't need source code.  Coherent is only $99, and there
  are various true UNIX systems with more features for more money.  For the
  true hacker, not having source code is fatal, but for people who just
  want a UNIX system, there are many alternatives (albeit not free).
