No. Copyrights to pieces of the kernel belong to the programmers who made them. While Microsoft does ironically have a copyright on a couple of the modules, it does not own all of the code.
is Linux programming code is owned by Microsoft.
Only the HyperV drivers. The rest of the kernel is owned and copyrighted (Under the terms of the GPL.) by an enormous array of developers and groups.Even shorter answer: No.
No. "Kernel programming" is the writing of code that runs in kernel mode. It is not specific to Linux. "Linux programming" usually refers to any programming done in/for the Linux environment, and is not necessarily specific to the kernel.
Linux.
C++
"Source code," not "programming code." And what's allowed in there is stuff that's actually useful to Linux being an actual operating system. The patches have to be useful in some way, pass certain criteria, and get signed off by various kernel team members.
Your rights and obligations with regards Microsoft's "sample" and "example" code are specified in the Microsoft Limited Public License.
Linux is often used as a teaching tool for operating system programming, since it's source code is publicly available and can easily be changed.
Yes. That is 100% true. Microsoft and Linux will engage in an outright war on your computer. Basically, trying to simplify the term softwar, they both have distructive viruses in their code. Unfortunately for Microsoft, Linux has the better defence system and a better virus.
Visual Basic code is a program or library that has been written using the Microsoft Visual Basic programming language.
No, OpenOffice is a productivity suite similar to Microsoft Office. Linux is an operating system (as is Microsoft Windows). Both have in common that they are Free Open Source Software (FOSS), which means they are free to download and are free to change (because the source code is provided). OpenOffice runs on Linux as well as Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X and some other operating systems.
Yes it is. It is owned by Microsoft and they do not give access to the source code for the program, unlike open source software programs.
