GPL, BSD, and NetBSD – why the GPL rocketed Linux

7
There are still active FreeBSD and OpenBSD communities, and there’s much positive to say about FreeBSD and OpenBSD. I use them occasionally, and I always welcome a chance to talk to their developers – they’re sharp folks. Perhaps NetBSD will partly revive. But systems based on the Linux kernel (“Linux”) absolutely stomp the *BSDs (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD) in market share. And Linux-based systems will continue to stomp on the *BSDs into the foreseeable future.
