If you re-read my post you'll note that I didn't disagree with anything you said, so you needn't "stand by what you said".
BSD had a huge running start time-wise, but Linux has the lion's share of market penetration today in most market categories. We can discuss why - perhaps the GPL is a factor or Linus Torvolds is a great evangelist or the lawsuit killed BSD's momentum or IBM and HP and Red Hat made critical contributions- but it's rather moot at this point except for those who are sensitive to BSD's place in computing history. *shrugs*
