I think this is a great news for BSDs. Every time Linux community does something outrageously stupid it is poised to lose some of its most competent users. Naturally, after the death of Solaris I would expect these people to migrate to one of BSD flavors thereby strengthening our community. As of Linux being Unix-like, for me OS X (in particularly after recent introducing of PF instead of IPFW as default firewall) is far more true Unix. If I had to decide whether I have to use Linux or OS X as my primary system, I would chose OS X without the second thought.
