Like the industry wouldn't adapt to a more hostile license from linux? Huawei built their own OS, google has fuschia (and g* knows what else)

Would it be better if apple and google flipped the switch and made all future devices 100% closed sourced?



The likes of Microsoft, Apple, Sony and Nintendo already run kernels with less open licenses than Linux on their own devices. Others decided that maintaining their own kernel is too much.

So, what would Linux being more open really have changed?
