Let's also not forget that many of the "innovative" features that Grodzan says
Linux has copied to Solaris and other Unixes, were actually not invented by
them. OS/2 already had dtrace in 1994 (it even had the same name), and many
of the traditional Unix features were copied^Wheavily inspired in multics.
