I doubt that's the reason, since you can certainly develop closed-source applications for Linux.

I'm moving to BSD specifically so I can stop using Linux, because I dislike the development direction that Linux is on.

Agreed. Linux is an IBM and Microsoft product now. Im ready to go back to a real Unix free from corporate influence.

At the time when I was using FreeBSD as my daily driver, a major portion of the contributions in FreeBSD came from corporations too.
