tessier | Microsoft 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 |
tessier | Looks like Xenix was available | May 22 00:02 |
cubezzz | actually yes, there was Xenix starting in 1979 | May 22 00:02 |
cubezzz | but I really meant open source Unix :) | May 22 00:03 |
tessier | Oh. BSD was the first official FOSS "Unix". | May 22 00:03 |
cubezzz | I'll have to recheck my Xenix notes | May 22 00:03 |

tessier | afaik | May 22 00:03 |
cubezzz | tessier, but was there a FOSS Unix in 1983? That is the question | May 22 00:03 |
tessier | No, 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 |

schestowitz | IIRC, Noorda set it up? | May 22 00:07 |
tessier | Right. AT&T and was generous about licensing to universities. That is what made it popular. | May 22 00:07 |
tessier | Aside from being technically sound. | May 22 00:07 |
cubezzz | so does AT&T have anything to do with Unix now? | May 22 00:07 |

cubezzz | I wouldn't mind knowing the exact license | May 22 00:09 |
Ziodotmatrix | cubezzz: I'm sure it's similar to the MIT one, but more limited. | May 22 00:10 |
cubezzz | could one find the AT&T source from that era? | May 22 00:12 |
Ziodotmatrix | cubezzz: 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.

DaemonFC | AT&T isn't the same AT&T that did UNIX | May 22 00:19 |
DaemonFC | AT&T sold Bell Labs years ago, and then AT&T's telecom business was bought out by SBC | May 22 00:20 |
DaemonFC | so the AT&T behind UNIX no longer exists | May 22 00:20 |
DaemonFC | :P | May 22 00:20 |
Ziodotmatrix | DaemonFC: that's what I have been trying to explain. | May 22 00:21 |
Ziodotmatrix | DaemonFC: when did Unix cross the threshold of being a mostly open source project? | May 22 00:22 |
cubezzz | ok, what I'm really asking here is what was the FIRST open source operating system? | May 22 00:22 |
cubezzz | that's what it really boils down to | May 22 00:22 |
DaemonFC | well, AT&T's UNIX was always open source-ish | May 22 00:22 |
tessier | HURD? | May 22 00:22 |
tessier | HURD was before Linux which was before BSD. | May 22 00:23 |
DaemonFC | it wasn't really open source because there were severe restrictions on who could use it | May 22 00:23 |
tessier | MINIX even? What license was on MINIX? | May 22 00:23 |
DaemonFC | but it wasn't "shared source" (MS term) because those with the source license could modify it | May 22 00:23 |
DaemonFC | AT&T UNIX was something in between | May 22 00:23 |
tessier | Meanwhile, 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 |
tessier | Hmm....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 |
cubezzz | yes, Minix predates them all | May 22 00:24 |
cubezzz | unless there was some pseudo-open source AT&T Unix | May 22 00:25 |

cubezzz | hmm? | May 22 02:05 |

Omar87 | Hi all. | May 22 14:46 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, Hi | May 22 14:48 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, did you check out my latest tweet? | May 22 14:48 |
schestowitz | it's a good one | May 22 14:51 |
schestowitz | But for me it's behaviour that's the problem | May 22 14:51 |
schestowitz | I stated all along, I don't care for brand, not even Linux brands. | May 22 14:51 |
schestowitz | I've criticised Red Hat, IBM, Google, etc. when their behaviour was bad in some areas. | May 22 14:52 |
oiaohm | Omar87: I pick on MS because I know the end of time has to come for them. | May 22 14:53 |
oiaohm | History is full of failures of companies who failed to make standard products. | May 22 14:54 |
Omar87 | oiaohm, exactly. | May 22 14:54 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, Exactly. | May 22 14:54 |
schestowitz | We could use your help | May 22 14:54 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, Yes. That's exactly what I believe too. | May 22 14:54 |
schestowitz | Basically, to get credibility you must stay objective and not hypocritical | May 22 14:54 |
schestowitz | I don't give companies a free pass for promoting swpats and I sometimes eat insults for this... but people do trust me too | May 22 14:55 |
schestowitz | What we need to do is, we ought to create more tabled | May 22 14:55 |

Omar87 | True. And that's why I've stated that it's not the company that I care about, it's their nefarious unethical attitudes that I care to expose. | May 22 14:56 |
oiaohm | I know more computer history than most people I know. | May 22 14:56 |
schestowitz | The FSF's Kuhn says correctly that rather than dismiss entire companies we need to address the part of them that's wrong or the products that violate freedoms | May 22 14:56 |
schestowitz | A lot of people miss the message and they think like, Google=good, Apple=bad, Novell-bad | May 22 14:56 |
schestowitz | But it's a lot more complicated | May 22 14:56 |
oiaohm | We are seeing more and more companys create standards to take their fate in there own hands. | May 22 14:56 |
Omar87 | schestowitz, I agree. | May 22 14:57 |
oiaohm | Really I see software patents as a double sided sword. | May 22 14:57 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: probably, you do know history | May 22 14:57 |
schestowitz | I can't say much about the 80s | May 22 14:57 |
oiaohm | We need more open source patent agreements requiring give up of patents to be used for defence. | May 22 14:58 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz: The industry thrives on free and open source implementations of their patented codecs | May 22 20:37 |
DaemonFC | even when they're not licensed | May 22 20:37 |
DaemonFC | if everyone has an MP3 or an AAC encoder for example, that gives them the chance to make unlimited files in those formats | May 22 20:38 |
DaemonFC | the industry likes to turn a blind eye to unlicensed encoders and a few small media players here and there, because they make the format popular | May 22 20:38 |
DaemonFC | then the industry can make hardware manufacturers pay up and integrate the licensing into the cost of your MP3 player | May 22 20:39 |
DaemonFC | (or other device) | May 22 20:39 |
DaemonFC | it's no coincidence that open source projects implementing patented codecs aren't sued | May 22 20:40 |
DaemonFC | but 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 project | May 22 20:41 |
DaemonFC | this is what WebM is | May 22 20:42 |
DaemonFC | I suspect that even if the patent violations are valid, the MPEG Cartel will be reluctant to sue the companies behind WebM | May 22 20:42 |
DaemonFC | if Google had taken something like this on when they were a start-up, the lawsuits would already be filed | May 22 20:43 |
DaemonFC | I'll probably use webm to rip to when there's some software that can support it | May 22 20:44 |
