It also had legal issues because it was derived from what once was a
commercial product with several key pieces having non-free copyrights
that certain corporations felt obliged to defend.
GNU was conceived, designed and written from scratch for the purpose
of being a free OS, and all Gnu programs were covered by GPL from the
beginning. Work on GNU began in the early 1980's IIRC.
