A separate family of operating systems. It’s a direct decendant of the old UNIX. FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD are the most common ones. I used FreeBSD as my daily driver back in the day, but now I’m also on Mint, mostly because I used linux more. I’ve been meaning to check out BSD these days to see how far it’s come since I last used it 20ish years ago, I just haven’t gotten around to it.

Okay, imagine Linux. But it’s (most of) the whole thing developed at once rather than just the kernel and tools separately. AND: GNU licenses: companies use code and contribute because it may help BSD licenses: companies that use code shouldn’t contribute because it sucks
