Your college's OS syllabus

[leledumbo]

I'm wondering, what are the contents of other universities syllabus for OS? Does it include licensing (which IMHO shouldn't be there, but in another one talking about software legality and law).

I'm in a 2 year college so I sadly don't have any kind of OS class

Hoping I'll have one in at the next school I go to to complete my BA

I attend North Carolina State University and none of our Operating System course syllabus's seem to have anything about licensing in them.

Here are a few of the Syllabus's

and a schedule for one of them

Hmm... I guess it's just to make the syllabus look 'full' because we don't implement any os, instead we learn unix.

No OS syllabus. No college.

Well, actually, I attended the b.i.b. International College, but for Business CS in an 18-month class schedule. System / OS CS wasn't offered there.

We had some lessons in business law, but nothing regarding licensing. They usually assume you will be employed (instead of working freelance / unaffiliated), and that your company will have a legal department deciding on stuff like licensing.

The vast majority of employments is in the Closed Source world, anyway...
