Because I'm full blooded American who supports Apple and Microsoft, and not some Russian or Russian sympathizer like you guys that support communist clones like Ubuntu. Catching up on features is in no way a direct copy of code obviously either, if you claim to have a problem with direct code copy, why don't you speak out against the communists in China who are legally renaming a copy of North Carolina's "Red Hat" to Beijing's "Red Flag"? Like I constantly do, in spite of your attacks on me in its defense. You don't have to answer, we know your weaselly answer always is "I will never speak out against these giveaways" to communist China, or any other communists for that matter.

Microsoft made its beginning with a poor clone of CP/M. They made their next OS as an inferior clone of VMS, and their UI as an inferior clone of the Macintosh OS. Their next UI is a flat-out copy of OS X. Apple was a superior clone of what was at Xerox, and is now based on a clone of UNIX. You don't like clones, yet you like MS and Apple?

I still don't know where you get his Ubuntu Russian/communist connection. The funder of Ubuntu went up in space as a tourist aboard a Russian rocket, that's it.

You make it sound like Red Hat wrote everything that the Chinese are copying. The only reason Red Hat exists is because they were able to copy somebody else's code (including foreign code) and slap a "Red Hat" label on it.

"I will never speak out against these giveaways"

Unless you want to violate the First Amendment rights of these programmers and violate their copyright, then it is illogical to speak out against them opening the source to their applications.
