Re: Windows 10 [...] appears to be boosting BSD somewhat
Hammer, nail, head.
Picture the scene at Redmond:
"Shit! The lusers are moving to linux!"
'No problem; we'll just embrace, extend and extinguish linux - kill it stone dead.'
"We can't."
'What?'
"It's GPLed - we can't obfuscate the code."
'Shit! We're screwed.'
"No. wait."
'What?'
"The beardy weirdies don't like systemd."
'So?'
"So they'll adopt BSD instead."
'So?'
"That's released under the BSD licence; we can release as much as we like under that without having to supply the source along with binaries. And we can charge for the binaries too!"
'Great; start pushing systemd stat!'
