If the world had been like this 20 years ago, there'd be no GNU or Linux today. After all, RMS started writing replacement tools for Unix more than 10 years before Linux came on the scene, all the while using the proprietary operating systems that he eventually intended to make obselete. And when Linux came on the scene, it had that long history of GNU tools to lean in to make a fully functional free operating system.
If the Unix vendors at the time had a sense of what was coming, they'd probably have pulled a Larry.
