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.
当比较Linux和OpenBSD两大操作系统----它们几乎同时诞生----的市场份额时，一个问题冒出脑海：为什么它们的市场渗透差别如此之大？在份额图一侧的Linux，有着可能削弱商业市场的许可，而却吸引着大量的公司和组织在多种多样的商业模型之上采用与支持它；而BSD衍生操作系统FreeBSD，OpenBSD 和 NetBSD，尽管有着更加悠久的历史和据称更加商业友好的许可，而却没能成功地拥有一个大的安装群体和广的使用范围。
