The Linux kernel seems to be a good piece of work, but GuhNoo itself is just a cadge of the real thing.
 Can you imagine spending years of your life cloning others work, then putting your own name on it as if it's something you originated?  Then walking around with your fat belly sticking out and calling yourself "Doctor"?  What a phony.
