cubezzzdon't think there was any microcomputer Unix in 1983May 22 00:01
cubezzzso probably University or workplace onlyMay 22 00:02
tessierNo SCO or Xenix in 1983?May 22 00:02

tessierMicrosoft purchased a license for Version 7 Unix from AT&T in 1979, and announced on August 25, 1980 that it would make it available for the 16-bit microcomputer market. The initial port of Xenix to the Intel 8086/8088 architecture was performed by The Santa Cruz Operation.[2][3][4][5][6]May 22 00:02
tessierLooks like Xenix was availableMay 22 00:02
cubezzzactually yes, there was Xenix starting in 1979May 22 00:02
cubezzzbut I really meant open source Unix :)May 22 00:03
tessierOh. BSD was the first official FOSS "Unix".May 22 00:03
cubezzzI'll have to recheck my Xenix notesMay 22 00:03

cubezzztessier, but was there a FOSS Unix in 1983? That is the questionMay 22 00:03
tessierNo, I don't think so. Only AT&T and BSD. When did BSD go FOSS? Also check out the unix family tree.May 22 00:04

cubezzzI think some Universities had some kind of license and they could see the source codeMay 22 00:07
schestowitzIIRC, Noorda set it up?May 22 00:07
tessierRight. AT&T and was generous about licensing to universities. That is what made it popular.May 22 00:07
tessierAside from being technically sound.May 22 00:07
cubezzzso does AT&T have anything to do with Unix now?May 22 00:07
cubezzzprobably not?May 22 00:08

Ziodotmatrixcubezzz: I'm sure it's similar to the MIT one, but more limited.May 22 00:10
cubezzzcould one find the AT&T source from that era?May 22 00:12
Ziodotmatrixcubezzz: it's certainly not completely closed since it was essentially made under a defense contract and the last thing the military or research teams would want to use is something completely proprietary. At least back in the day when we knew the implecations of being in a state of war.May 22 00:13

DaemonFCAT&T isn't the same AT&T that did UNIXMay 22 00:19
DaemonFCAT&T sold Bell Labs years ago, and then AT&T's telecom business was bought out by SBCMay 22 00:20
DaemonFCso the AT&T behind UNIX no longer existsMay 22 00:20
DaemonFC:PMay 22 00:20
ZiodotmatrixDaemonFC: that's what I have been trying to explain.May 22 00:21
ZiodotmatrixDaemonFC: when did Unix cross the threshold of being a mostly open source project?May 22 00:22
cubezzzok, what I'm really asking here is what was the FIRST open source operating system?May 22 00:22
cubezzzthat's what it really boils down toMay 22 00:22
DaemonFCwell, AT&T's UNIX was always open source-ishMay 22 00:22
tessierHURD?May 22 00:22
tessierHURD was before Linux which was before BSD.May 22 00:23
DaemonFCit wasn't really open source because there were severe restrictions on who could use itMay 22 00:23
tessierMINIX even? What license was on MINIX?May 22 00:23
DaemonFCbut it wasn't "shared source" (MS term) because those with the source license could modify itMay 22 00:23
DaemonFCAT&T UNIX was something in betweenMay 22 00:23
tessierMeanwhile, other events transpired in the realm of Unix. AT&T management backed away from Unix and eventually sold the rights of the system itself to Novell. Novell split what it had bought: It donated the Unix trademark to X/Open and eventually sold the rights for the code to SCO. Mike Tilson of SCO arranged to release the ban on publication of "The Lions Book," John Lions' A Commentary on the Unix System, V6. May 22 00:24
tessierHmm....did that turn out not to be the case in SCO vs Novell?May 22 00:24
cubezzz"Operating Systems Design and Implementation (1987). An abridged 12,000 lines of the C source code of the kernel, memory manager, and file system of MINIX 1.0 are printed in the book."May 22 00:24
cubezzzyes, Minix predates them allMay 22 00:24
cubezzzunless there was some pseudo-open source AT&T UnixMay 22 00:25

DaemonFCschestowitz: The industry thrives on free and open source implementations of their patented codecsMay 22 20:37
DaemonFCeven when they're not licensedMay 22 20:37
DaemonFCif everyone has an MP3 or an AAC encoder for example, that gives them the chance to make unlimited files in those formatsMay 22 20:38
DaemonFCthe industry likes to turn a blind eye to unlicensed encoders and a few small media players here and there, because they make the format popularMay 22 20:38
DaemonFCthen the industry can make hardware manufacturers pay up and integrate the licensing into the cost of your MP3 playerMay 22 20:39
DaemonFC(or other device)May 22 20:39
DaemonFCit's no coincidence that open source projects implementing patented codecs aren't suedMay 22 20:40
DaemonFCbut then there's the flip side where lots of big corporations with lots of money to keep it in courts for eternity and can't simply be bullied or stalled in court until they're out of money get behind a codec projectMay 22 20:41
DaemonFCthis is what WebM isMay 22 20:42

schestowitzI think there's this miserable last attempt from them to make Mono relevantMay 22 21:46
_goblin...A Novell employee mentioned MonoDroid....nothing about issues thoughMay 22 21:48

_goblinschestowitz: It was on Twitter....he mooched in on a Mono conversation and started his advocacy...of course he turned nasty in the end by calling me a troll (yet he engaged me in conversation)May 22 22:09
_goblinI wouldn't care, if he hadn't spoken to me first, I never would have even known he was there.May 22 22:10
_goblinYet apparently I can troll someone who interupts my conversation with their advocacy....May 22 22:11
_goblinLefty has had a try aswell.  He seems to think that me using 6 twitter posts to respond to him (I find the 140 char restrictive) is a sign of an obsessive.  I would say its a sign of not liking one-liners that he seems to favour....May 22 22:12
_goblinbut my main concern with him is what on earth is a grown man doing behaving in this way..?  May 22 22:13
