They can't buy a linux company because of the licensing issues behind them. In linux, if you make modifications to the source code, you have to return those improvements back to the linux community. There's obviously no way to maintain your IP if you have to give it away. With BSD, you can submit the changes you made if you like, but aren't required to.
