Nothing to do with the license.

These systems do things that Linux just can't.

Linux is no RTOS, nor does it have a pure microkernel architecture. It can't do anything where latency guarantees are needed (hard realtime) nor high assurance, nor any actual semblance of security.

I suggest these posts: https://microkerneldude.wordpress.com/2018/08/23/microkernel... https://blog.darknedgy.net/technology/2016/01/01/0/




Fuchsia definitely has something to do with the license. Currently Google is forced to release their changes to the kernel.


I really do not see a connection between both sentences.

There's far enough technical reasons to ditch Linux for a cleaner design.
