BTW I've read 37 pages of thread and haven't found any actual AMD opensource lies yet, did I miss something juicy ?

calling the OS distribution "Linux" is wrong...
GNU/Linux is bit closer but still wrong...
GNU/Linux/X/DRI/Mesa is another bit closer but *still* wrong...
GNU/Linux/X/DRI/Mesa/Gnome/KDE/<50 other things> is starting to get close, but is also impractically long to type or say...
... so people just use the term "Linux" knowing it actually means "a whole lot of different software running on the Linux kernel" because that works and nobody has come up with a better name yet.

Once upon a time in phoronix there was a nut case who claimed that Hans Reiser was innocent and that the powerful "storage lobby" was behind false allegations.
Even when Hans admitted to killing his wife, this nut case claimed Hans was coerced, and that the case was a clear indication of corruption.
Eventually this nut case started blaming the Jews, and got banned.
glxextxexlg, you have a long way to go to be even a tenth as interesting.

I repeat linux is not an operating system - it is a GPL kernel as is hurd
The community can easily replace GCC, glibc, libstdc++ with alternatives, but its a pain in the ass to replace the linux kernel, and you know why because developing a microkernel to work at this magnitude with every device available in the market to plug to your PC (modern desktop today) is nearly impossible to achieve. Its why microkernels are used in fixed hardware-software combinations like symbian phones (which still sucks BTW android FTW).
So we can, and WE WILL replace GNU tools! Nnnnhahahahahaha!
