Why did Linux continue as a thing once BSD was made open to everybody?
Because Linus wanted to make it so, and it happened.

The Internet.
>>55527589
Because the BSD license allows companies to borrow code and then make it proprietary without even acknowledging the original work . The GPL doesn't and it has allowed free software to thrive.
When did Unix become free? If it was a long time ago, one would think Linux still would have been very far behind it, which makes me wonder why it was chosen for mass-adoption.
>>55527681
This. Say no to cuckold languages.
>>55527676
Butthurt.
Why did Coke continue as a thing once Pepsi was available?
OH YEAH CHOICE WHAT A FUCKING CONCEPT, YOU FUCKING TROLL
Please leave.

>butthurt
No, just making fun of a shitty troll
>>55527589
Linux has better driver support.
Because BSd fucking blows and Linux is better

>>55527732
Yeah but that's an effect of the cause which is the subject of my questioning.
Linux was designed to be a copy of Unix, people starting working on Linux, then Unix became free to everybody, yet people stayed with Linux.
One guy mentioned the licensing, which makes sense. Anything else?
>>55527589
GNU/Linux was more mature and established on personal computers by the time that BSD became free of legal bullshit that had tied it up in the early '90s.
>>55527681
BSD absolutely thrived in the '80s.
>>55527707
No, you BSD types always get butthurt when called corporate cucks.
>>55527765
I guess it has something to do with the foundation and entterprise linux support of Red hat and Novell
>>55527886
I don't think you know what butthurt means
>>55527903
You. You get called a corporate cuck and your only response is NO U.
>>55527912
Why would I actually try when I'm just arguing with a freetard 12yo script kiddie? I've given you extremely logical explanations before and you just call me a cuck again.
>>55527764
It literally is. BSD driver support is a joke compared to Linux which is saying a lot
>>55527953
Nu-males like yourself get mad at a revolutionary word like cuck.
>>55527969
Something less popular has less support? Holy shit, no way!
>>55527970
Nah
>>55527878
>BSD absolutely thrived in the '80s.
No shit that was because it was completely free software and companies weren't yet taking their code for it yet. Not to mention that the code was still under Bell Labs.
So the consensus I'm getting here is that the only real difference between unix and linux is the licensing, and thus the overwhelming popularity of linux is most likely attributable to this difference, even though in practicality they are basically the same product run on sentence.

>and companies weren't yet taking their code for it yet
NeXTSTEP, SunOS, ULTRIX, and Tru64 were all proprietary Unix platforms built on top of BSD.
