LWN:
Eric Raymond informs us that a draft version of his book The Art of Unix Programming is now available for review. It can be found, along with the rest of Eric’s writings, at his new “catb.org” domain.
From a section of the book:
Though the term “open source” and the Open Source Definition were not invented until 1998, peer-review-intensive development of freely shared source code was a key feature of the Unix culture from its beginnings.
For its first ten years AT&T’s original Unix was normally distributed with source code. This enabled most of the other good things that follow here.
This work in progress looks quite promising.
