It is obvious to me that RMS's GNU movement
was aimed at solving that
very problem. And if that was a problem, then the
"UNIX openness" you
talk about does not seem to have been very
practical at all. At
least,
it was totally useless to PC hackers, like Linus
Torvalds - he had to
write his own UNIX, because he was not able to
get any UNIX source
code
he could readily compile and run on his i386.
Perhaps I'm confused (not uncommon) but I have distinct memories of
having
a source licence for my BSD/OS system on a 386...
