Re: Money for this will be hard to get said by bent:I think there's a difference between "borrowing" good ideas that work and outright theft of code. But again, simply recoding someone else's idea is not the same as stealing their code. There's a million different ways to write a "Hello, world!" program and if a million people wrote said program in a unique way they might be borrowing one another's good ideas but they are not stealing each other's code.
said by bent:I mean c'mon... they didn't even bother to change the A:\> prompt.  If you really want to be that detailed you could say the same thing about Minix and Linux. They use the same prompt style as the old commercial Unix did prior to AT&T's liberating it in the 1990s.
