I don't think so. As disruptive as they really are, the patents and
NDA are not a culprit here.
Plan 9 suffers from small hobbyist community. The most professional
applications are
probably at LSUB and Vita Nuova. Engineers from Blue Gene project are
probably don't
read this list at all. There is just no critical mass to push Plan 9
into professional applications
market. It's not big enough (paradoxically) and Unix was already there
for many years.
Microsoft is very aggressive as well. But Plan 9 ideas has its impact
on design of other OSes.
