What do you mean by "non-Gnu"? SW for which the FSF doesn't own the copyrights? SW which is distributed under something other than one of the Gnu Public Licenses? > I wonder in particular if: > - there are Linux systems using the BSD userlands Are there even any BSD systems with 100% non-GNU userlands?

I'm sure there are embedded Linux systems which contain little or no FSF-owned code. But I don't know if you'd consider those systems to even _have_ a "userland". > Only thing I can think about is (maybe) embedded systems or > things using busybox, but in the latter case just imitating > gnu or bsd userlands. -- Grant
