I guess this is why Linux has been totally eclipsed by BSD.
1. Linux isn't a *library*, it's an operating system. A GPL operating
system doesn't force GPL licensing for any application that runs on it.
A GPL library *does* force GPL licensing for any program that links
with it.
Again, the LLGPL was created for precisely this purpose.
2. Mac OS X is BSD Unix. It has existed for half the time that linux
has, and has more than 5 times the web client share of linux, so yes,
BSD is on its way to eclipsing linux as a client OS.
