Alexis de Tocqueville Institution it called "hybrid" source models, in which true open source code is mixed with proprietary code, with the result that intellectual property rights are nullified. To illustrate potential problems with this approach, the book cited the case of Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux. It claimed Torvalds used source code taken from Minix, a small Unix-like operating system used in teaching computer science, to create Linux 0.01, on the theory that no mere student could write an entire Unix-like kernel single-handedly — although writing a kernel of similar size and capabilities is a standard part of many computer science degrees.

Chippewa Operating System Chippewa Operating System The Chippewa Operating System often called COS is the discontinued operating system for the CDC 6600 supercomputer, generally considered the first super computer in the world. The Chippewa was initially developed as an experimental system, but was then also deployed on other CDC 6000 machines. The Chippewa was a rather simple job control oriented system derived from the earlier CDC 3000 which later influenced Kronos and SCOPE. The name of the system was based on the Chippewa Falls research and development center of CDC in Wisconsin. This operating system at Control Data Corporation was distinct from and
