Arguably Linux would not have grown as ubiquitous if it's license didn't have the plugin loophole. Perhaps a BSD, Minix, or another would have arisen instead.

Or it would just be a Windows monopoly ecosystem. Without that loophole perhaps no open source unix-alike product would have been able to out compete Microsoft in the server space which is what lead to it's viability as core of a phone OS.
