Linux has no owner, really, aside from Linus. How can IBM wrangle a reversal in the sale of it back to Novell who has no more devs to maintain it - because they sold it - and they put it on the shelf for 20 years until it's dead?
I don't get how this is like how Unix was killed; at all.
BSD was a mortal wound on UNIX, AT&T lawyers killed BSD, Linux swooped in.
