Apparently, 12% of Technology Workers Believe that MacOS is based on Linux

You are not new to lemmy, it says you registered a year ago, but is this the first time you meet a comment with license info? You are one of today's lucky 10000.
I've seen this on multiple users, usually it's some anti ai license. Like the laws stopped facebook from torrenting copyrighted books, an anti ai license will stop the next ai startup scraping the fediverse.

I know a guy who worked on Unix in the '80s and he is very clear that Linux / MacOS are just Unix.
-
I'm only aware of myself, and the one other person who I learned to do this from, on Lemmy. That was tenish months ago, but still.
I haven't seen anyone else, even the other person I mentioned previously, since having returned to Lemmy recently.
Be nice if you were right, but I haven't seen it really.

Does the lack of licensing in this comment mean it's okay to steal?
-
I would be more surprised if 12% of "tech workers" know what Linux is at all.

I don't think just thanking someone is real content. /shrug
But answering someone who thinks they are being funny or annoying, by explaining things to them, would be considered content by me.

I kind of suspected it might be something like that, but it was a genuine query that, yes, was intended to be mildly humorous. I don't intentionally annoy except maybe my wife.
Your indirect accusation made me smirk, but as far as I've noticed you're the only one who does this without doing it on every comment, which seemed interesting enough to observe.

macOS is UNIX, certified UNIX actually.
But I mean, if someone had the merest impression of macOS and was very familiar with Linux and never bothered to look any further then I'd understand. Maybe they only played around with macOS a little and saw the terminal app had bash and most all the familiar tools as on Linux. It's not hard to see why they might've thought it's Linux based.

Well that explains a lot…

12% of humans believe we aren’t apes
Edit: hopeful the number is actually this low

Yeah, I tend to push back a bit, as I wish people would discuss the subject at hand that the comment by me was made about, and not the license that I used in my comment.

All humans are apes, those people moreso than most.
-
Except humans aren't apes. Humans are great apes.
Given the topic, this distinction is highly relevant.

Ah. Well, I have questions or comments I could make about the license. However, while I feel passionately about Unix and Linux and OSS in general, I don't think I have anything useful or interesting to add to the thread that hasn't already been said.
I wish you luck both with finding engaging conversation and with your licensing.

Isnt
zshthe default macos shell? -
Yes but no. Some folks are purists and feel that the actual code must derive from the original BSD/SysV code.

A little passive-aggressive of you
but I'm betting you could find answers to your questions if you looked through my comment history, starting about 10ish months ago. There was ALLOT of conversation about it at that time. You'd probably also see the kind of comments you'd make already made as well, saving you some time.However, while I feel passionately about Unix and Linux and OSS in general, I don’t think I have anything useful or interesting to add to the thread that hasn’t already been said.
That's fine, I didn't mean to suggest that you personally (vs others) had to comment on the subject at hand, just that I wish I would only have to respond to comments of the subject at hand.
I wish you luck both with finding engaging conversation and with your licensing.
And may you have a GREAT day today!

A little passive-aggressive of you
That's a fair interpretation, but in fact I was trying to avoid the appearance of passive aggression by providing a reason for my exiting the conversation, rather than just bailing.
