> Linux replaced OSS with Alsa over licensing issues
I've only done light reading on the history but I suspect it is more like linux devs used license change of OSSv4 as an excuse to satisfy their NIH syndrome. They could've continued to develop existing OSS codebase as BSD's did but they chose to write ALSA from ground with a totally different design.
