And all this, of course, ignoring the other issue of what might be
considered a "start to the open source operating system movement",
given that even development of GNU was well underway by the time the
Linux kernel got started (having been worked on since early 1984), and
one might even be able to argue that the early UNIX systems were also,
in a sense, open source.
