[QUOTE="Cloudane, post: 40196"] I'm guessing because Linux is very agressively open-source. Whilst it's possible to write a proprietary OS using Linux (Lycoris, Lindows etc) they probably just didn't want the GPL licensing headaches or all the bitching that would've come from the fanatics when it came to selling it :) (With BSD, you can do what the heck you like with it, other than claim you wrote it) [/QUOTE]
