- Beltalowda 5y agoYes, I just replied to "it [the lawsuit] may have been a motivation for creating Linux in the first place". As for why Linux "won"; I think the low bar to contributing in the earlier days helped a lot; BSD tended to be a lot more bureaucratic. And there was also some amount of drama and splits in the early 90s, which probably didn't help either.
