Linux The title of the article seems familiar to you? Naturally it would, when you read something like this. But I do state the corresponding sentence isn't even grammatically correct, thereby making it difficult for me to parody. I am sure that Linux is not close to extinction but is rather gaining momentum or at least holding its ground.

Mmm, the Internet started as ARPANET in 1969.
The basic GUI concepts appeared at Xerox' PARC in the '70s.
These technologies HAVE hit the 20 year mark and as you can see, who started doing what and when still matters.

And you can renew patents, you know?

No you can't. That's the whole point of the patent system, so people will share their knowledge rather than make everything a trade secret.
