It says: "Linux was the only operating system not owned by Microsoft that gained market share in 1997." This is incorrect. FreeBSD, another collaboratively developed free operating system, has actually been gaining market share faster than Linux! FreeBSD, unlike Linux, allows commercial as well as non-commercial spinoffs and is known for its more robust networking, more organized development process, and more careful testing prior to release. Please correct the article to include FreeBSD as another alternative operating system that's gaining market share.
