Since 4chan's /prog/ has become little more than meme spamming, I decided I'd try here.
Me and a group of anons are working on a POSIX-compliant OS, which will be developed anonymously and be public domain. Currently we've started on replacing GNU's Coreutils with Anoncoreutils, and have around 1/3 of the utilities finished. This is both an experiment in anonymous software development and an attempt to eliminate the bloat that GNU's programs tend to have.
Anyone is welcome to join in with this, as long as they don't leave a name and don't mind writing code for the public domain.

Go away.
You've stolen someone else's tripcode, you're posting with a name so you aren't anonymous, your code quality is terrible and you don't seem to understand the first thing about proper software development, and for the love of god stop spamming your crappy board everywhere.

I see 4chan's /prog/ is starting to spill over in here.

You used a meme. Your argument is invalid.
MEMES EVERYWHERE

I don't get it. Are you denying that GNU's programs have bloat? I'm not challenging you, I seriously don't get it.

in b4 hax my anus, grabs dick, instant.exe, etc.
Ah, little Cudder. Give up, you seek helpers not where you are supposed to. But then, people at serious programming forums will laugh at your futile attempt at doing something big.
Drop it. I don't want to see you fail.
>I don't get it. Are you denying that GNU's programs have bloat? I'm not challenging you, I seriously don't get it.
Are you claiming cat, echo, pwd etc. suffer from bloat? How so?
You can't be fucking serious.
I don't really see what Anonix would contribute other than being some half-assed hackjob of an OS.
Would be better if just sat down and made an editor so we don't have to resort to 70's abandonware.

Please, don't mention that.
hax my anus
>>13
Heh. Maybe not those...
Forget your stupid OS! I'm gonna make my own with hookers and blackjack! In fact, forget the OS!

You have asserted that the GNU tools are "bloated" without further qualifying that statement. I really don't understand why you'd want to reimplement all of GNU coreutils. GNU isn't supposed to be the epitome of Posix programming, it's first goal is to be a free system.

We're not just after small and efficient. BB is GPL, we're going for public domain and small and efficient.
We are not reimplementing the GNU coreutils, we are writing POSIX utilities which just so happen to be included in the GNU coreutils. As the Anonix plan indicates, our goal is to develop a public-domain (even more free than GPL, slightly more free than BSD, and anonymous) POSIX implementation.
> public domain
I hope none of your contributors live in the US. If some do I recommend you either do a wee bit more research about the legal situation of public domain code, or they stop contributing.
Why do you think MIT/X11 licences and the like exist?
As an aside, I make regular use at work of echo's -n and -e options (albeit you don't need -n with -e). But if you like life on the spartan side, go for it; UNIX is a pile of crap as is.
It is commonly believed by non-lawyers that it is impossible to put a work into the public domain. Although copyright law generally does not provide any statutory means to "abandon" copyright so that a work can enter the public domain, this does not mean that it is impossible or even difficult, only that the law is somewhat unclear. Congress may not have felt it necessary to codify this part of the law, because abandoning property (like a tract of land) to the public domain has traditionally been a matter of common law, rather than statute. (Alternatively, because copyright has traditionally been seen as a valuable right, one which required registration to achieve, it would not have made sense to contemplate someone abandoning it in 1976 and 1988.)[1]
