Torvalds: Free OS X Is No Threat To Linux

[wraggster]

Apple is now offering upgrades to the latest version of OS X for free. When Linux inventor Linus Torvalds was asked whether this threatened Linux (presumably by someone who had only a passing knowledge of all the things 'free' can mean when applied to software) it gave him an opportunity for a passionate defense of open source (http://www.itworld.com/open-source/379749/apples-free-os-no-threat-linux-all-torvalds-says). Torvalds also says that he'll keep programming until it gets 'not interesting,' which hasn't happened yet."The newest version of OS X may be gratis for Apple hardware buyers, but it's notably far from the original, (literally) un-branded sense of "mavericks."
