These hobbyist UNIX clones never get anywhere because they will always be behind the UNIX clones people care about. There's already Linux and BSD if you want something UNIX-like that's usable and Plan 9 if you want something UNIX-like that feels like a crappy hobbyist toy OS.
I want to see more ideas out there and not another POSIX-compatible, C-based UNIX clone. If you want make an OS clone that matters, copy VMS, Multics, Classic MacOS, or some other operating system that has a different philosophy. If you want to copy Windows, contribute to ReactOS.

Why not YAHOS, Yet Another Hobbist Operating System, and try some weird shit like said to see if it works out well

The difference between an amateur and a professional is that a professional develops a compiler.
Just use MIT or BSD license and don't worry about it. Give people as much freedom as possible.

I wish you good luck. That is a great project to do and something to be proud of.
If I was doing my own OS I would make it: - mostly POSIX compliant - easy to use mix of source based and package distro - use very simple static linked userspace utilities (suckless, BSD utils, maybe something like that: github.com/arsv/minibase) - everything that is not a static binary would be in a some kind of container (flatpak, snap, LXC whatever) - package manager would download git source and compile. it would also track all dependencies so if there is a security fix for a library all other programs get recompiled too

That is called public domain. Contrary to retarded beliefs you can waive your copyright in Europe. MIT/BSD still has requirements so it isn't maximum do whatever the fuck you want.

You again? I have enough of your shit.

What is the point of another Unix style OS besides as a learning project?
