   @p I tried plan 9, but it didn't even have GNU Emacs, so I concluded it was no good.
   
   >that is 364MB and, being a NETINST image, it doesn't even come with anything.
   The version I ran was full of GNU Emacs, GNU nano and a Xorg server.

   >the install media includes GPL'd source
   Only the 2014 version was released under the GPLv2-only, later version were sadly released under the weak MIT expat; http://p9f.org/license.html
   
   >the basic utilities don't second-guess you or try to internationalize /bin/true
