That's an interesting analysis. My perspective has been (is?) that
the issue is primarily one of Linux reaching critical mass and
becoming self-sustaining. After all, both Linux and FreeBSD appeal to
the same basic market, and as one on OS gains more market share it
tends to become the more attractive alternative to others, creating a
positive feedback loop that decidedly favors the more popular OS.
