It seems that in Russia nothing can be done independently on the technological level. When registering a Russian operating system created by a subsidiary company of Rostecha, it turned out that the system code is almost completely stolen from several American systems. As a consequence, the system is stolen and its "creators" did not have documents confirming their exclusive rights to the workings used in it.

Third-party developer Alexei Smirnov said that OS was created on the basis of CentOS and Fedora, owned by RedHat. In order to obtain exclusive rights, the Rosteha subsidiary had to greatly modify the product so that it contained components that were not present in the original operating systems.

It is alleged that the "OS" consists of 1257 packages, of which 799 are borrowed from Fedora, and another 7 are added without modification from CentOS. Own developers packages were found only 19. And all of them are created for external change of system and concealment of traces of larceny by the Russian company of the American operating time.

The developers of the "Auschwitz", of course, completely deny the accusations.
