Fiwix 0.3.3 has been released. "Fiwix is an operating system kernel based on the UNIX architecture and fully focused on being Linux compatible. It is designed and developed mainly for educational purposes, so the kernel code is kept as simple as possible for the benefit of students. It runs on the 32-bit x86 hardware platform, and is compatible with a good base of existing GNU applications."

The website says:The Fiwix kernel will be publicly available under an open license when it reaches the 1.0 version.
Someone has to explain him the "release early/release often" thing. But probably he doesn't want to be bothered with endless discussions on how to do this and that and "hey that's my cool hack for SATA support".
He wants a clean, educational thing. So I understand him.

So much for "educational" when it's a closed source project?
