一位用户询问关于Linux内核剽窃FreeBSD代码的问题，收到FreeBSD内核开发者SørenSchmidt的回信，证实了这一事实。信中提到Linux内核复制了FreeBSD的Promise和Highpoint元数据结构，但未保留版权信息。讨论还涉及了Linux开发者的行为错误，并链接了更多详细信息。
我与 FreeBSD 内核开发者 Søren Schmidt的通信：LINUX在剽窃FREEBSD
当年我了解到FreeBSD的源代码被LINUX剽窃一事后，给FreeBSD 内核开发者Søren Schmidt去了一封信，并且收到了他的回信，以下是回信内容，证实了LINUX的剽窃行为。

Hi !
Yes its true, they copied the Promise and Highpoint metadata structures with comments and all, they just ripped off the copyright headers.
I got pretty miffed about it as I spent several hours doing that work so... It eventually was sortof settled so they acknowledged the origins of the code in some of their files.

Not really, I dont normally read the Linux kernel code, unless someone points me to things like the above.
I belive in writing code myself from specs is way better and more fun than copying others work :)

评论中有这么一句值得注意的：
Microsoft has incorporated BSD code into Windows various times, each time giving proper credit and keeping copyright notices intact.
Don't try to reflect this onto Microsoft. Clearly the Linux developers fucked up here.
