FreeBSD - powering Netflix servers and even videogame consoles. Speaking of videogame consoles, noticed that both Sony and Nintendo were prefer using FreeBSD as their main OS base for their platform and this is because its BSD license allows them to create closed-source systems that is fully customized to one particular hardware and they don't need to share its code to everyone.

@@12me91 I think the BSD license rocks because it allows software like OpenSSH to be included in all operating systems, even GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. The GPL license, on the other hand, sucks in my opinion, because there are many large corporations that secretly abuse GPL-licensed code in closed-source projects anyway. Big corporations using BSD is almost always a good thing, because most of the time they contribute code back or donate money to support development. :)

That was awesome! So 386BSD came around just a few months after GNU/Linux! The idea of a free software Unix system was around in spirit since the late 70's, even if not truly realized until 386BSD. Imagine if the AT&T lawsuit hadn't happened, maybe we'd be using BSD Unix today!

Open source is a fascinating study, especially with it's different licensing requirements. I wonder how IBM & Canonical will affect the open source code of their respective distros. Will RHEL and Ubuntu Pro go down the same path as Android? Perhaps the evolution of proprietary and open source code will eventually intertwine to the point where it can no longer be distinguished from each other - then what will be the result of the evolution? I doubt AI will provide the crystal ball we need to look into the future.

If you say that BSD became open source in the early 90s, I would say that minix predated that as open source by a wide margin. That was not a very complete distribution or functional operating system, but still completely open source. If I remember right, a few commecial operating systems moved from being based on BSD to being based on System V in the early 90s. E.g. SunOS 4 vs SunOS 5 (aka Solaris even though that was a misnomer). My first experience with BSD was in the form of Eunice which was a BSD emulator on VMS.
