Is that true? Is there somewhere to read up on that? Why Linux became more popular than FreeBSD especially?
- em-bee 2y agoBSD already was a complete operating system by the time linux kernel development started. unfortunately in 1992 there was a lawsuit that put the license of the BSD code into question. by the time the lawsuit ended and the license was clarified or confirmed, linux+GNU had already taken over in popularity.
