Response to: You miss his argument

How do you suppose this is to be "proven"? Ken Brown tasked someone with comparing the sources of Minix and some versions of Linux in order to have something to blather about in his screed. The guy came up empty. What more is left to say?

    Thanks! Believe it or not, I had not seen that information and thus did not know it even existed.

    Now what would be great is if someone from the OSS community would *formally* respond to Ken Brown and show the evidence as to why he must insinuate things for which he provides no hard evidence. This information clearly puts egg on his face, and someone should most certainly make sure that Brown's "target audience" sees him with said egg on his face. ;-)

    This is particularly damaging to the credability of a researcher, and there won't be many who are willing to jump up and sacrifice their career to lie for a company, unless there's a TON of money involved. (And if that's the case, the company will most certainly not want to risk it on weak information like in this case.)
