The Irony of the Unix wars is that Unix lost.

Linux didn’t have any of the untouchable legal issues that Unix had. Linux was built from the ground up without access to Unix source code, that was entirely why it was written.

And now we have Linux, the most used kernel on the face of this earth. Used in almost every server. All android devices. Chrome books. The Steam deck. It’s included on every copy of Windows.

Linux won the Unix wars. And it’s all the fault of the very creator of Unix. AT&T, in their greed, killed the creation they sought to profit from.

Double Ironic.
