I am getting sick of all the religous wars about "my OS is better than yours".
I have used both FreeBSD and Linux, and to an average user, they are very similar. Sure you can go compiling kernels and look at the differences, but face it, most people spend their time using the machine for work or play, not submitting patches or compiling kernels and worring about licences of the patches.
To most Windows users it doesn't matter wheather they can get the source code or not, all they care about is how easy is it to use and how effective it is for their needs, this should be the basis on which we choose an OS, not based on FUD arguments.
