Open source expert Shimen: Domestic COS operating system is "hybrid", not Chinese software dream

Recently, the open source expert, Peking University mathematics professor Shimen successively in CSDN personal blog article, began to expose the domestic COS operating system Some truth, pointed out that Shanghai Lian Tong Company actually does not have the strength http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/ 18870.html "> Independent research and development of domestic COS operating system, so was wearing the" Laurel "cos operating system can only be regarded as a" hybrid "operating system, can not be counted as the Chinese operating system" dream. "

Mingshu, director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Software, has publicly stated that Cos, while absorbing the essence of open source software, has evolved from the bottom code to the user interface completely independently. In this regard, Shimen began on February 14 in personal blog published articles to query, he said, from the expression of Li Ming tree, "independent evolution" is called "Independent research and development", then, what is called "Independent evolution"? Especially the "bottom code and user interface" Evolution of cos operating system? Furthermore, since the frank acknowledgement of Cos absorbs the "essence" of open source software (i.e. the Linux system's program code), this "independent evolution" is not a "fully autonomous" operating system. Thus, wearing the "Laurel" of the Cos operating system can only be regarded as a "hybrid" operating system, not China's operating system "dream."

Based on what? Shimen pointed out that Shanghai Lian Tong Company is the lead of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, set IT industry, mobile phone industry giants as one of the large enterprises, but the company is only 50 to 150 people, such a "large enterprise" is not too able to bear the development of software industry "big system."

Then, Shimen in the "again uncover the inside of the domestic COS operating system," said Bowen, Shanghai Lian Tong Company is actually by Mingshu through private "transaction", hastened to the Shanghai Trade and Industry Bureau registered to assemble the company. Such a hasty reason is that COS project to catch Twelve-Five "nuclear Shishou" program. In addition, because of Shanghai Lian Tong Company needs to have a "state-owned" shell, so the Tong became the Shanghai state-owned, Chinese Academy of Sciences Software and Granville three of the joint venture.

However, the chief CEO is Bai Yimin, he is by Granville electronic assignment, so both Wei Sheng Electronics chairman and HTC chairman of the Wang can be manipulated behind the scenes. Shimen said this so Wang through a little "small money", the country's "nuclear Shishou" plan to "play".

is the homemade Cos operating system Android?

In response to previous netizens said that the domestic COS operating system and Android exactly the same, Shimen also on the domestic COS system is not Android to explore.

The first thing he asked himself in another blog post was, is Android a Linux system? The correct answer is: Android is the Linux operating system, but not GNU. The Android operating system has a Linux kernel, and its user platform is not a GNU package, but rather a Dalvik software package (the so-called "Java Virtual machine"), so the Android OS should write "Dalvik/linux". In fact, Google control is the Dalvik version of the upgrade authorization, Google's system Linux kernel changes are not big.

Back to the problem itself, the domestic COS system using a partner development of the "Java Virtual machine", which is the COS system user platform, the equivalent of Google's Dalvik virtual machine, it can be seen that the so-called domestic COS operating system is actually a class of Android system, is definitely not "independent research and development" Operating system, because cos the most central part of the operating system (that is, its user platform) is Shanghai Lian Tong Partners, as for this intimate partner is who? Some people should be clear.

In addition, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences director Mingshu and the Chinese Academy of Sciences General Director of software Vujenjun independent intellectual property rights, Shimen introduced a very basic question to explore: "The total cost of development of the Linux kernel (TCO) is how much?" , according to a study published by the Linux Foundation, the development cost of the Linux kernel is about $1.4 billion trillion (about 7 billion RMB), and the development cost of a typical Linux distribution (that is, an operating system that can actually run) costs about 10 billion dollars, This is only the 2008 market. Therefore, almost no cost, can make the so-called COS system is China's independent intellectual property rights, is laugh.

Finally, Shimen also pointed out that, because the world-renowned legal experts Eben Moglen launched the "Software Freedon Law Center" specifically to deal with breaches of the GPL, therefore, the title of "China" independent research and development of the operating system will certainly give the country's image of integrity harm, The future may be the same as the Green Dam software.
