| 00:01.04 | landley | GPLv2 is nice, but anybody could have forked a GPL bsd: they didn't. |
| 00:01.17 | landley | Hurd is GPL these days, Minix is GPL. Didn't help. |
| 00:01.40 | landley | BSD actually has the problem that it's not sufficiently modular. The whole OS is made by the guys who make the kernel. |
| 00:02.00 | landley | In Linux I can swap out glibc for uClibc, swap out pthreads for nptl, swap out the command line for busybox, and so on. |
| 00:02.16 | landley | Interchangeable parts available from multiple sources, each of which can be replaced if necessary. |
| 00:02.35 | landley | In BSD, you get a giant lump that's all in the same source control with the One True Package Management System. Take it or leave it. |
| 00:02.51 | landley | If you want to do something like uClibc in the BSD world, you pretty much have to fork the whole OS. |
| 00:03.10 | landley | That's not a licensing issue, that's a development model issue. |
| 00:03.39 | landley | Over in the Linux world, xfree86->x.org wasn't that big a deal for most people. It happened, we moved on, distros switched over at their own rates. |
| 00:04.37 | landley | needs to wander home... |
