Not so. In fact, it has embraced far too many GNU userland 
utilities, and has a Linux emulator which (alas) has
discouraged the creation of native ports of applications.
I personally have nothing against Linux qua Linux, but
rather believe that it is unethical to promote it because
it is GPLed.

On the other hand, far too many adherents of Linux and the 
GPL would like to destroy the BSDs, because they thwart the
FSF's goal: to leave users with no choice.
