what if google built androd on top of BSD?



Almost there. The Linux kernel is the only GPL piece still standing.


wouldn't change a thing. Apple built on freebsd; Android userland and libc is all BSD


Slight clarification, Darwin is a mish-mash of CMU's Mach microkernel, some 4.3 BSD, some BSD userland, some GNU userland (although that seems to be going away), and then NeXT/Apple stuff on top of that.
