Heh, in theory on our end it wouldn't be... That different? I don't expect the licensing for the BSD variants would have changed the outcomes all that much, the BSD licenses are more libre than the GPL even. The bigger issue might be support fragmentation among the different flavours (distros?) of BSD, unless one BSD version came out on top.
It'd be a weird world without Linux, but still having the Unix wars happen. I guess it's possible System V would still play a bigger role in that timeline too.
