I wanted to clarify some concepts from the readings regarding Unix and Linux.
Unix was unique in that it connected computers together into a similar system, however was only available for a select few. Linux was created by Linus based upon the Unix frame even though he never had real access to its code. Therefore, he did not infringe on their copyright? What Linus did was then to create Linux and make it accessible to the "masses" or at least those who were interested in computers. And at this time, this was a revolutionary concept because it was free, available to all, and more user friendly. My question is if these statements are correct. I wish to better understand the Unix/Linux relationship.
