Comment Why not? Because Linux is tainted with the GPL... (Score 1) 136
Linux, and all the GNU stuff, is tainted with the GNU public license. That's why. Nobody likes distributing a commercial system as a set of kernel patches. OpenBSD and its derivatives, like Mach, are open source and NOT tainted with the GPL. Hence, commercial products have been, and will continue to be, derived from OpenBSD instead of Linux, like it or not.
