According to the Open Hub website, Linux has 37,016,567 lines of code, but this is small compared to NetBSD and OpenBSD, which have 72,065,568 and 81,902,070 lines of code, respectively.
Is there a reason why Linux has fewer lines of code compared to NetBSD and OpenBSD? I’d like to know.


Given BSD is supposed to be a complete package while Linux has a separate kernel and userland, that’s probably why.
