"I am no visionary but if Linux doesn't internalize this, I'm afraid some other kernel will do to it what it did to Unix."

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.
