@xianc78 @HonkHonkBoom I think what's more likely to happen at least given the effort of having to write an entirely new OS as opposed to some meme shit hobby OS, is that the BSD/MIT push will continue.
Google has been trying to replace Linux/Android in some applications with this new OS called Fuchisa. Wanna know what it's licensed under? That's right, MIT/BSD/Apache. The BSD guys and corporate whores, many of whom the woke types happen to be (the anti-capitalist license types probably work at McDonald's or live on grants), absolutely hated the GPL back in the day and called it a poison pill. I'm sure if I could dig, I could find more stuff about this going back to the 00s but I found two things to prove a point:

In fact, this is one of the theories behind "rewrite it in rust", because so many Rust replacements use the MIT/BSD licenses.
