Tom Yager, The spirit of Unix: Those who now grouse about the dangers of relying on code written by students, academics, and casual coders forget that’s how Unix got out of the lab and into business. [...] If your minimum acceptable standard for Unix is an operating system derived from AT&T’s original work, you’re missing out. The inclusive attitude and general openness that made Unix happen in the first place don’t exist in HP-UX, AIX or Solaris. That magic is now in the hands of the developers and vendors who are shaping truly open OSes like BSD, Linux, and Darwin.
