Had RMS gotten hurd out the door quicker, we might all be using Gnu instead of Linux.
Had RMS not used the AT&T copyright dispute to launch a campaign of FUD against BSD, we'd be using cleaner, freer, more standards-compliant, and more secure systems and he'd fade into obscurity as nothing more than the author of a fringe text editor.
But let's not get all caught up in "what-if"s, mkay?
[For the record, I can't be too bitter: I'm posting this from an Ubuntu install that replaced OpenBSD on my laptop.]
