The Problem with BSD was it was not available for the mass
even if it came in 1970 as you said.
It came to masses only after GNU/Linux. I know people
who went to GNU/Linux since *BSD was not affordable for them
(ie before BSD became free).
BSD was *closed* for a long time.
They didnt heard the sound of change. And failed.
( I am not saying the technologies in BSD failed.
May be they are better than GNU/Linux)
Accept the reality.
