When comparing the evolution in market share of Linux and OpenBSD, two operating systems that were born around the same time, a question comes to mind:
why is there such a difference in market penetration? Linux, on one side of the spectrum, with a license that supposedly impairs commercial venues, has enticed companies and organizations to adopt and support it under varying commercial models, while the BSD derivatives (FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD), with a larger history and an allegedly more commercial friendly license haven't been as successful to gather a large installed base and widespread adoption.

It't not about popularity or "widespread adoption", but about QUALITY.
Just take some tests and compare WiFi drivers ...
