The origin of "live free or die" in the UNIX trademark

Live free or die talks about the development history of the UNIX trademark. The translation either lives wonderfully or dies happily.

In the 1960s, AT & T's laboratory Ken Thompson began early research and development to create a simple and replicable UNIX operating system. At that time, computers were as big as a house, living in 32K of memory and disk. Later it developed to AT & T. In order to maintain the competitive barriers of enterprises and suppress competitors, bureaucracy suppressed the openness of open source. After the low-price sale, commercialization moved to two levels. SUN, HP, and IBM all customized their own Unix-like systems. Microsoft also built its own software empire through bidding. Today's Apple has developed into its own closed ecosystem from this; Linux has also been squeezed by Microsoft's operating system in the evolution of open source until today's open development of the Internet; Google's operating system has once again fully demonstrated its unique advantages from Microsoft's operating system.
