GNU tools are inpired by design paradigm, unix. Unix was AT&T system. So
we should say the garden was sown by people at AT&T. O but wait, There
was something called Multics which was the OS which never got finished
which inspired unix platform paradigm ..... Bla bla . But Von Neumann
gave the concept of data and excutive code on same memory system. What I
want to drive home as a point is knowledge base of any kind, really
does'nt come from one source. And acknowledging that is important. Real
contribution of project's like Xwindow, GNU compiler sets and utilities,
BSD is not that they produced THE tools, but the just are proof of
concept that PEOPLE design software, not demi god's. and offering
prayers to linus, RMS, maddog etc etc is last thing is free software one
should do. Although they do deserve respect.
