    Thanks for explaining.

      Depends on what you mean by BSD.

      If you mean literally BSD, then yes, it’s a direct UNIX decendant based on the same source tree. However, it’s been discontinued 30 years ago.

      If you mean one of the *BSDs (Freebsd, netbsd, openbsd), then the relationship is more similar to that of linux, although there is still actual BSD code involved.

        Unix is like franchising: you can be perfectly SUS, yet no money = not Unix
