Multiple people make an OS by going off of the same specs, and you call them copies?

Red Flag, the chinese government's version, is based on a direct copy of Red Hat. "Line for Line" copying, the Chinese government got it completely for free, and more where that came from. You repeatedly trying to equate some US company copying another feature, is pathetic.

Free software gets pirated, too

ROFL.

Yes, I know, and if they'd paid for it that would have been fine with you. But since they got it for free, the same way Red Hat got the kernel and most of the utilities for free (and thus is a company employing Americans), you don't like it.

But you still try to avoid the point. How is Linux any more of a "copy" than NT or DOS?

ROFL.

No, software piracy. I do believe you've defended these pirates before.

Easier to laugh then address the fact that the license of OpenSource software was violated?
