  Linus has always prioritized results over ideological purity. Which is why Linux runs the world whereas BSD is still just a niche project.

    Clearly he doesn’t care about results because he slop coded with antigravity rather than reading documentation for a python side-project. I imagine his younger self would be cussing his older self out for shipping things he literally doesn’t understand.

    The reason for his actions are much simpler: he got paid. He gets paid from the linux foundation which receives a lump sum from AI companies. In 2024 Linus said AI was just Hype, but then the foundation received millions in funds from the AI companies.

    That and BSD was almost BSD™ by AT&T™.

    Lost all its momentum at probably its most valuable growth opportunity to a single dev.

      A lot of people very recently are already jumping ship from Linux so it appears a new most valuable growth alternative has arrived.

    I’m not sure I’d call permissive licensing “ideological purity” compared to copyleft.

    Frankly, I think BSD loses because corporations are legally allowed to take and never give back.
