Different licences... that's the reason that Apple and Sony uses BSD instead Linux.
In Linux any app/code created using the Kernel have to be OpenSource... that's different than free... you can price your app like in Windows but you have to publish the code that you create for the community... so any expext can compile the code and run the app after all.
Now BSD not... you can make code in BSD and maintain closed.
BSD licence is way more pro-"proprietary".
BTW Open Source and free are different... I can charge for Linux OS and Linux apps like in Windows.
