Re: [Ilugc] Linus Torvalds To Join Microsoft To Head Windows 9 Project

2013-04-02 Thread R Rajendhran
This is a fake news.  But, for those who concern about future of FOSS:


* FOSS was started as a movement by Richard Stallman.
* GNU OS was developed, but only the kernel was missing.
* Linus has developed the kernel, and named it as Linux.
* FOSS is really a huge movement, which involves millions of developers.
* Nobody can derail this movement by spreading these kind of fake 
messages.
* FOSS movement CAN and WILL survive after the days of RMS and Linus.
* Their names and the moral values they have created will grow forever.

   * FOSS was started as a movement by Richard Stallman.

Better use the term 'Free Software' instead of 'FOSS', as RMS is
really opposed to the term  'FOSS' when referring Free Software.

Nope. He started the Free Software movement [1].

Nope. He wanted to call it Freax. It was Ari Lemmke who created a
directory called linux at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/ [2].
