I respectfully disagree. Linux was definitely the enabler for this to

something only historians can tell us, but without FSF/GNU/GPL.
Unfortunately, right at that time, bsd was involved in the AT&T
lawsuit, or it could have been bsd, or bsd/linux.
Where are you going with your sky in the desert?
"bsd/linux"
It is GNU/linux because Linus Trovald save the asses of GUN as their
HURD kernel never worked and may never will. It was the perfect marriage
between the two as neither one could have had a life without the other.
A symbioses in heaven for both of them.
However, I never thought I would have to remind you that BSD IS a
complete OS, kernel and userland standing on his two feets by itself in
one place.
The true part is the lawsuit that had an impact that no one sure can
know to what extend it also benefit the GNU/linux and will never know.
Don't forget that.
With all due respect.
