or derivative works of *BSD
You can. You just need to say in the documentation and source
- files where the code is derived from.
+ files where the code is derived from. A bunch of FreeBSD-derivative
+ projects exist:
- For example, PicoBSD is a tailored distribution of FreeBSD that
- fits on a floppy. It's great for turning a diskless 386 PC into a
- router or a network print server. Another popular FreeBSD derivate
- is FreeSBIE, a complete desktop running off the CD-ROM.
-
- The Whistle Interjet is a ``network appliance'' that acts as a
- router, web server, mailhost (and other functionality), and can be
- configured using a web browser. The underlying operating system is
- FreeBSD, and Whistle have contributed many of their code
- enhancements back to the FreeBSD project (while keeping enough of
- them proprietary that they can stay in business).
-
- The OpenBSD project started as a spinoff from the NetBSD project, and
- has since evolved its own distinctive approach. Similarly, DragonflyBSD
- derives from FreeBSD 4.X.
+
+
+ DragonflyBSD: It started as a code fork from
+ FreeBSD 4.x, but it has since its own user community and
+ development goals.
+
+
+ TrustedBSD: This project provides a set of trusted
+ operating system extensions to the FreeBSD operating
+ system, targeting the Common Criteria for Information
+ Technology Security Evaluation (CC). This project is
+ still under development, and much of the code is destined
+ to make its way back into the base FreeBSD operating
+ system, but the development takes place separately.
+
+
+ FreeSBIE: A complete desktop running off the CD-ROM.
+ It can also be installed, but extremely useful for
+ diskless computers.
+
+
+ Frenzy: Another live-CD distribution, but customized
+ for administering tasks. It contains software for
+ hardware test, file system check, security check
+ and network setup and analysis.
+
+
+ PicoBSD: A tailored distribution of FreeBSD that
+ fits on a floppy. It's great for turning diskless 386
+ PC into a router or a network print server. It is
+ based on FreeBSD 3.x.
+
+
+ NanoBSD: An another project to produce a
+ reduced versions of FreeBSD to put it on a Compact Flash
+ card or other mass storage.
+
+
+ TinyBSD: It is a set of tools made up of shell scripts
+ designed to allow easy development of Embedded Systems
+ based on FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x.
+
+
+ PC-BSD: A desktop-oriented FreeBSD derivative. It's intended
+ to be easy to install and well-supported by its community.
+
+
+ DesktopBSD: Another FreeBSD-based operating system
+ customized for desktop usability.
+
+
+ m0n0wall: A FreeBSD-based firewall system that has
+ many of the features of expensive firewalls, e.g. web interface,
+ reset factory defaults, stateful packet filtering, NAT/PAT
+ redirection, DHCP client and server, caching DNS forwarder
+ and more.
+
+ The Whistle Interjet: A ``network appliance'' that acts as a
+ router, web server, mailhost (and other functionality), and can be
+ configured using a web browser. The underlying operating system is
+ FreeBSD, and Whistle have contributed many of their code
+ enhancements back to the FreeBSD project (while keeping enough of
