I don't think that's the reason. Apple even relicensed launchd to make it easier to use. It still didn't get adopted.

- Sanddancer 14y agoTo clarify, my comment was that even before relicensing, launchd was under a less restrictive license than the GPL -- the APSL allows for binary linking -- but had clauses that didn't allow people to GPL their code. By the time launchd was relicensed, ubuntu had already released upstart, and another init replacement so quickly would have alienated people.
