From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The gnu brained folks hate when we make our own tools.
Square that circle for us?
Have you ever publish a tool that already has a gnu counterpart? Even if you say it's for learning or an experiment you still get hounded about it.
Why publish an experiment?
It's my git server, I can put what I want on it. MIT is easy when I don't really have long term plans for it. If I am contributing to a GPL project i'll use their license.
To get feedback? For fun?
I can see that, I guess even practicing deployment would be useful. There's enough weird splintering in some projects that even perceived competition can seem like trouble.
