Hi!
First and foremost I'd like to present myself, I'm a young and naive junior
sys admin that think people should be able to compromise and see the bigger
picture and the good of the cause.
Now over to the reason for my post.
As all of you probably know there's a lot of buzz around Gnu/Linux
Yes, your bat crap crazy :-)
All of these variants inherit from the same unified BSD 4.4 base code as far
as I know. So years ago there were reasons that groups wanted to spilt off
and focus on specific goals. Some of these goals are mutually exclusive.
These BSD variants are not really
+1
Also, all projects being _open_ it's not like
there isn't any useful cross-talk in sources, there
is.
And all projects can focus on their precise goals.
Win-win.
Of course, if some sub-goals are common,
collaboration is encouraged (e.g. editor suite,
chromium, I believe some wifi

you are not crazy for thinking this, and
This is the funniest thing I've seen all day. :)

You seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that the Linux
world is unified. It isn't.
The big difference between Linux and the BSDs is that it alienates
itself from the BSDs and many other projects by using a viral,
business-hostile license. The BSDs can draw on one another's work

AFAICT. Again, this doesn't imply any criticism of the founder of

There were some very valid technical reasons at the time as
The reason was actually intellectual property based between ATT and the
proprietary BSD/386 if your talking BSD4.4. That was the core reason for
why FreeBSD and NetBSD started.
So really it isn't that crazy, more highly unlikely that your going to get
the core developers of each project to abandon
- Then came the Unix wars, where ATT sued BSDI (a commercial variant
that no longer exists) over perceived copyright infringement. The
free BSDs weren't really directly involved, but the suit would have
been just as relevant, and people were worried.
This was the time that Linux
