nobody put an = sign between open source and linux kernel. the OP only stated the obvious: without the GPL there would have been no Linux kernel and the without the Linux kernel the open source *MOVEMENT* would hardly have any relevance. BSD is neat and peachy, but, no offense intended, it never came close to the real revolution triggered by GNU/Linux. (go and count BSD magazines in a newstand if you doubt this, then look at conferences, then look at MS ad campaigns, etc. etc. etc.).
sure, there were hominids before Homo Sapiens Sapiens. But, say, Australopithecines can hardly be looked at as in the same league. you see what I mean<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
