Comment MS is 17 years behind... (Score 1) 392

So they have some prototype of the OS kernel, releasing it under non-commercial free license?

It has just occurred to me that a guy named Linus Torvalds did the same back in 1991, releasing an OS kernel called Linux under a free, strictly non-commercial license. He later got the clue and changed it to GNU GPL.

Apparently Microsoft is 17 years behind; will they get the clue? I doubt it.
