| | Salon Free Software Project BSD Unix: Power to the people, from the code |
 | | Berkeley's most important contribution was not software; it was the way Berkeley created software. | | | Berkeley Unix worked so well that DARPA* chose it to be the preferred "universal computing environment" linking together Arpanet* research nodes, thus setting in place an essential piece of infrastructure for the later growth of the Internet. | | | During his seven years at Berkeley, Joy and a few other graduate students and staff researchers spearheaded an intensive software development effort that culminated, most famously, in a radically improved version of AT&T's Unix, known simply as Berkeley Unix or, more commonly, as BSD,* for Berkeley Software Distribution. |

| | TriBUG: Overview of BSD |
| | BSD, or Berkeley Software Distribution, began in 1977 from the efforts of the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California at Berkeley. | | | BSD also continues to evolve, most recently with SMP development, the soft-updates implementation in FFS, and Kirk McKusick's development of UFS2, which has now been integrated into at least the current branches of most of the BSDs. | | | Most Linux distributions rely heavily on the Free Software Foundation's GNU project to provide many of the libraries and utilities necessary for a usable system, although some smaller projects have been created that use a Linux kernel with BSD utilities and libraries. |

| | However, software developers are required to pay license fees when developing software that can be used to create these files - even if that software is not distributed for a profit. | | | Typically in the PC era, computer software has been sold only as a finished product, otherwise called a precompiled binary, which is installed on a user's computer by copying files to appropriate directories or folders. | | | BSD was shared with research universities around the world, provided they first purchased a source license from ATandT and with that obtained the full source code for both Bell Labs UNIX and BSD. |

| | Free BSD focuses on support for i386 systems (computers with Intel processors), but Intel systems are not the only hardware platforms supported. | | | Between 1975 and 1993, the software was under heavy development by Berkeley students and all of the old ATandT code was written out of the codebase. | | | Open BSD holds as it's development goals the idea of open source code and secure software development. |

| | It is the name of distributions of source code from the University of California, Berkeley, which were originally extensions to AT&T's Research UNIX operating system. | | | The BSD C library is based on code from Berkeley, not the GNU project. | | | It's true that AT&T UNIX is not open source, and in a copyright sense BSD is very definitely not UNIX, but on the other hand, AT&T has imported sources from other projects, noticeably the Computer Sciences Research Group of the University of California in Berkeley, CA. |

| | And that Berkeley tradition is a key wellspring for what has since become known as the free software or open-source movement -- which is stirring up today's computing world with a new vision of how great software can be developed, distributed and supported. | | | Certainly, Allman had no idea that his program might one day be singled out as a prime example of the "open-source" strategy of software development, nor did he imagine that he would be lauded as one of the pioneers of the free software movement. | | | But Allman's creation, and later distribution, of sendmail did fit in naturally with the glorious hacking tradition of the computer science department at Berkeley -- where mucking around with the innards of the Unix operating system was long considered, if not a God-given right, then at the very least a cherished responsibility. |

| | BSD Dates Back to Late '70s / Users encouraged to tinker with it, do improvements |
| | Though often known simply as Berkeley Unix, their version was officially called the Berkeley Software Distribution -- BSD. | | | In contrast, the Berkeley license gives developers who build enhanced products on an open-source base a choice: They can release the code behind their innovations to the community, but they also can keep such modifications to themselves, in the form of closed, proprietary products. | | | That flexibility allowed some of the original BSD developers to form Berkeley Software Design and begin selling their own version in 1991. |

| | BSD license - Psychology Central |
| | This is problematic since with large numbers of people working on a single project (or for many separate projects in a software distribution), the advertising clause quickly created large and unwieldy acknowledgements. | | | Some notable examples of this are the use of BSD networking code in Microsoft products, and the use of numerous FreeBSD components in Mac OS X. | | | The latter is mainly of interest because the AICCU software is written with SixXS in mind and not with other providers. |

| | Unix-like - Psychology Central |
| | The various BSD systems are notable in that they are in fact descendants of Unix, developed by the University of California at Berkeley with Unix source code from Bell Labs. | | | The term can include free software / open source operating systems inspired by Bell Labs' Unix or designed to emulate its features, commercial and proprietary work-alikes, and even versions based on the licensed Unix source code (which may be deemed so "Unix-like" that they are certified to bear the "UNIX" trademark). | | | Most but not all commercial Unix systems fall into this category, as do the BSD systems, descendants of work done at the University of California at Berkeley in the late 70s and early 80s. |

| | Chapter 1. What is NetBSD? |
| | When you install these software collections (which someone else has decided for you) you fill your hard disk with tons of programs, most of which will stay unused (and unknown) and only waste space (and possibly make the system less stable); this is something which the typical BSD user doesn't want to do. | | | The first version of NetBSD (0.8) dates back to 1993 and springs from the 4.3BSD Lite operating system, a version of Unix developed at the University of California, Berkeley (BSD = Berkeley Software Distribution), and from the 386BSD system, the first BSD port to the Intel 386 CPU. | | | This tradition of research and development survives today in the BSD systems (free and commercial) and, in particular, in NetBSD. |
