Wow, I feel dumber for having read that.

Its complete and utter nonsense actually.  The linux kernel is used in
closed source products all the time, it has no effect there just like it
has no effect for BSDs.  Linux got marketshare from a particlarly well
known lawsuit that made many people avoid the BSDs, and a big group of
people interested in nothing but gaining marketshare, which is not a
typical BSD concern.  The licenses have nothing to do with it.
