1. Linux isn't a *library*, it's an operating system. A GPL operating 
system doesn't force GPL licensing for any application that runs on it. 
A GPL library *does* force GPL licensing for any program that links 
with it.

Again, the LLGPL was created for precisely this purpose.

2. Mac OS X is BSD Unix. It has existed for half the time that linux 
has, and has more than 5 times the web client share of linux, so yes, 
BSD is on its way to eclipsing linux as a client OS.
