Why are there no freely available implementations of these alternatives for
e.g. Linux and *BSD?

It is easy enough to flame someone/something, but that doesn't mean much unless
you provide an alternative that works. The US, only 5% of the world population,
owns about 70% of the world-winde address space. The EU has probably a large
part of the remaining 30%. So how much does that leave for the Asian and
African countries? I bet 70% of the world population has only 5% of the address
space. If Internet use in these countries grows, then it won't take long before
the address space runs out, if it hasn't already for some of them. So how much
choice do these people really have?

Groetjes,
