At the same time, I think some sort of GPL'ed kernel was inevitable for any
number of reasons.
Also, I worked closely with one of the principals in Linux back then (i.e.

his contributions than the bsd community. Not surprising, linux was pretty
much a clean sheet. I expect that was a factor as well.
