But GPLv2-licensed Linux is also everywhere?

Also regarding GPL versus MIT compilers, guess whose column wins out in red squares, https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support/20 https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support/20

To be clear, I'm making no comment on whether Intel using Minix is a good thing for their customers, but it's likely that the BSD license was what Intel wanted and caused it to become the most widely used OS few people know about.
