The lawsuit against involving BSD back in the day was one thing, and another one is... spreading FUD. That's about the fact that BSD's haven't got traction. Of course, relatively to Linux its smaller, or, better say, less visible: Sony Play Station is FreeBSD, Netflix uses FreeBSD for content delivery servers, WhatsApp is FreeBSD, OSX is BSD user land and much, much more, simply less visible.
the first version of Meraki were NetBSD -- same for Apple Airport devices. Junipers management plane has historically been FreeBSD (but that is unfortunately changing)
