Google's wet dream is Linux kernel under BSD license.
- IgorPartola 13y agoReally? Why not use a BSD kernel then? And don't say because Linux is so much more advanced: for what Google would use it for, FreeBSD would do just fine.
- metaphorm 13y agothats a silly thing to say. BSD licensed Unix already exists. if they wanted to build a proprietary OS on top of it (as Apple did) they would have. the fact that they already decided not to is the entire point here. Google chose GPL Licensed Linux over BSD Licensed Unix. From a technical perspective there's not a whole lot of difference. The license is the more important difference and we already know which they chose.
- Samuel_Michon 13y ago> as Apple did Apple didn’t build a proprietary OS on top of BSD licensed UNIX. They used the core of NEXTSTEP, which in turn used parts of several different BSD distros (though not its kernel or driver system).
