From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So doesn't the user have to add +x to run this?
It never occurred to me before reading this comment that there actually is a use case for the execute permission. To me it was always just this annoying thing I have to do whenever I download an executable which I didn't have to do on Windows.
Fun fact, Windows has the same permission it just defaults to enabled.
Hm, maybe there should be an option to always disable the executable permission when extracting
Ah, right
Zip too? I thought only on Windows, while tar retains unix permissions.
But i'm sure there was an issue somewhile ago, because zip only preserves Windows permissions...
