This is a bit self-fulfilling isn't it? How many GPL'ed OSes are there
thay haven't become popular? We don't know, because they haven't
become popular enough to get publicised.

I'm off to look for elephants with red toenails in cherry trees.

let me append to my response.

past capa systems suffered from poor performance, I understand.  EROS's
designer thinks he can solve that problem, so that EROS's performance on
common tasks will approximate that of mainstream OSes.  I do not
understand most of what this guy says.  

also, EROS's GPLed.  I do not say that is an improvement, but 
a GPLed OS has done very well lately in popularity.
