This is software, not media. Different laws apply. Unix and GNU mirrored 1:1 (and extended) a commercial, propietary OS (different Unix flavours). With FVWM + LessTif + gcc you basically had a reimplemented Unix workstation at home. Bash, GCC, *utils, X.org, LessTif, ZIP vs PKZIP... Also, every libre Smalltalk IDE out there had the virtual UI as the propietary ones. Also, FreeDOS in the 90's and DOSEmu. Same virtual interface and usage. | ||
