GNU/Linux: More than a Gigabuck (Jun 21, 2001, 13:23)
"The article More than a Gigabuck: Estimating GNU/Linux's Size
is now available, which examines Red Hat Linux 7.1's source code as
a representative GNU/Linux distribution. It found that it would
cost over $1 billion (a Gigabuck) to develop, that it includes over
30 million physical source lines of code (SLOC), and that it would
have required about 8,000 person-years to develop. Red Hat Linux
7.1 represents over a 60% increase in size, effort, and traditional
development costs over Red Hat Linux 6.2 (which was released about
one year earlier). Its predominant software license is the GNU
GPL."
