Pour ceux qui pourrait subir un effet slashdot, je vous mets la conclusion de ce long document interessant au plus au point et qui merite d'être aussi connu que le fameux débat du noyau monolithique.
"All in all, Brown's only argument is that he, personally, doesn't believe a 21-year-old kid could have written an operating system kernel in a year, despite the fact that half a dozen other people had done the same thing earlier and the code Linus wrote wasn't all that great initially. And faced with a whole bunch of people telling him otherwise and the consultant he hired to examine the code saying the code is completely different from MINIX, Brown just ignores all the facts and persists in his belief. I'll bet he dismisses the widely reported claim that Mozart wrote three symphonies and performed for the King of England when he was nine on the grounds that 9-year-olds don't normally do this sort of thing.
