BSD and Darwin derivatives MidnightBSD 0.1 is now available. It includes several software packages such as ksh, sudo, OpenNTPD, gcc 3.4.4, BIND 9.3.4 (plus patch), and others in the base system. "MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible, and soon amd64 compatible architectures. It was originally based on FreeBSD 6.1 Beta. The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind."

Ah, that is a little more clear. I totally agree with your statement. I'm personally not a huge fan of the GPL and would prefer not to use anything that is licensed such. Obviously this would be quite an impossible task though. I know that someone brought up the ideas of browsers, which is a big one but there are other more pressing issues, such as a compiler.
