But as noted, GuhNoo just stole everything they could from Unix: the
file layout structure, the utility names and functionality, and even the
incorporation of 'Unix' into their silly recursive name.

      Richard Stallman announced his intent to start coding the GNU Project in a
     Usenet message in September 1983.[9] Despite never having used Unix prior,
     Stallman felt that it was the most appropriate system design to use as a
     basis for the GNU Project, as it was portable and "fairly clean".

The basis for that last sentence comes from:
https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html
"I never used Unix (not even for a minute) until after I decided to develop a free replacement for it (the GNU system). I chose that design to follow because it was portable and seemed fairly clean. I was never a fan of Unix; I had some criticisms of it too. But it was ok overall as a model."
What an insufferable lunatic prick: "I was never a fan of Unix", but I'll spend years cloning it and ask others to do the same.  wtf?
There's a shitload of flame and troll material at that 'stallman-computing' link.  The self-important, egotistical blowhard is too strange for words:
* "the injustice of nonfree software"
* "I never pay for anything on the Web, because that generally requires
    running nonfree Javascript code in my browser."
* "I stopped using it [the OLPC] because the OLPC project decided to
    make their machine support Windows, so I did not want to appear to
    endorse it by visibly carrying it around."
huh?
With that massive belly, he clearly and shamelessly endorses gluttony and obesity.

I may deserve the USENIX Flame award for my near 20 years of tireless work on cola.  Vote for DFS!
