- ghaff 5y agoLinux largely won out over the BSDs for various reasons that may (or may not) have included the license. I personally think Linux would be roughly where it is even if it used a BSD license. And in the absence of Linux entirely, most people I know consider that one of the BSDs would have been rallied around because there was just too much market demand for an open source *nix operating system.
