The license?The license?Posted Sep 20, 2007 1:50 UTC (Thu) by smurf (subscriber, #17840)In reply to: The license? by felixfix Parent article: The case of the unwelcome attribution
Dunno about the license, but one reason is probably that, let's face it, the BSDs split up because the splitters didn't get along with the splittees.
One would almost expect the "not getting along with others" meme to continue, and bingo, that's exactly what we see happening.

The license? Posted Sep 20, 2007 2:00 UTC (Thu) by felixfix (subscriber, #242) [Link] Sounds about what I was thinking. I guess I am curious about whether the license attracts argumentative sorts, argumentative sorts decided on that license, or it is pure luck of the draw that attracted the argumentative sorts to BSD.
Maybe also a feeling of when will their time come, seeing as how one BSD variant was about to go public when AT&T sued them, and I know that colored my decision to go with Linux way back when. Maybe that set the tone for the frustration to follow, when each fork made it that harder for them to regain their rightful throne.
Eh well, it's not a topic worthy of a thesis.
