I think that is more a product of its time than the software. It isn't
the first openly available Unix-like OS. The others such as UZI and OMU
died because there wasn't the internet in its modern form to keep them
going, share them and build communities.

Developed by the community is very innovative.
Linux is the first OS developed by very large community. (Bazaar Model)
