Rather convolution article. First mentioning economic scarcity then moving onto 'good ideas' like Unix. I'm missing the central thread that ties it all together.

If anything it was the antithesis of Unix, namely GNU with its specific license that protects the users freedom, that was really the revolutionary idea, thank you RMS. Of course Unix, the work by Thompson, Ritchie etc brought extensibility and endless creativity to the development/app space. Ie write programs that do one thing well and able to connect those through pipes and ultimately through networks. The cli interface is ancient, but its here to stay for a very long time indeed.

Not sure of the point that my comment is making. Meh. Happy Friday.
