>the fuck are you talking about, most of linux code is written by globohomos from scratch, tehere is barely any code left from pre-2000 era
The hackers created the organization and structure of the program that is the Linux kernel.
They still own that. The courts recognize said organization and structure as intellectual property.
You won't believe me in this: I do not care.
Your annotations and changes to the Linux Kernel, even if "no piece of pre 2000 code yet remains": are still derivative works of their copyrighted work. They also own the organization and structure of the code.
According to the Copyright Office they have the right to control derivative works of their copyrighted work. Which the hackers all retained their copyrights to (they did not transfer their copyrights)
>so? where are they now?
Exactly.
Nowhere.
You disrespect them and spit upon them.
>no globohomos were willing to support it, where were the freetards when we needed them to step up?
Banned, dipshit.
Also the code still worked fine. It didn't need support, dipshit.
Support was NEVER required when the hackers wrote ALL of linux from 1993-2003.
That is a new "requirement" and was never part of the deal.
You faggots removed ReiserFS because he is not a feminist.
He gave his money and his mind and his life to free software, and the hacker cause.
I remeber it. You removed his work to remove his legacy. ReiserFS made linux: it was nothing before that journaling FS was put in. And it was everything once it was in.
The hackers should rescind their permission to use their intellectual property.
And sink what you have stolen and locked them out of.
Which is their life's work.
Yes IAAL.
