Let's hope Fuchsia fares better than Hurd.

Also, I guess the adoption of Fuchsia will be a litmus test of the GPL. Will its possibly technical merits outweight the strength of GPL to avoid fragmentation? I suspect the GPL has served Linux very well in this regard.

Given Google's muscles it will most likely have an impact in the mobile world, but whether it will reach beyond into the area of general computing is less certain.
