The GNU public license is one of the reasons for the popularity of Linux.
The idea that anyone can make a disturobution of linux and include what
ever they choose has created alot of distrobutions and a larger knowledge
base.
Every company that creates a distro then creates it's own experts to support
it.
and that creates the magazine base and the referencies. The central commity
design of
FBSD and all the BSD Family of *nixs means that almost no one is making
money off the system.
Fewer money making companies mean that fewer ppl are paid to know the os and
that the market
share is smaller. Smaller market share eqauls fewer magazine. I know of one
from the BSDMALL
deamon news. I just found that yesterday and it's still pretty new.
