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 derivative + projects exists:

-

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 started as a code fork from (For style consistency) we should not wrap like this the content of tags. + FreeBSD 4.X, but it has since its own user community and + development goals.

  • + TrustedBSD 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 is a complete desktop running off the CD-ROM. + It can also be installed, but extremely useful for diskless + computers.

  • + Frenzy is another live-CD distribution, but customized + for administering tasks. It contains software for hardware + tests, file system checks, security checks, network setup + and analysis.

    • + The old text regarding PicoBSD was correct, this new one is not. PicoBSD is not based on FreeBSD 3.X but on the source of the system used to build it (/usr/src/release/picobsd). The provided link is outdated (and will never be updated), a better solution would be to point on /usr/src/release/picobsd or nothing. +

  • + NanoBSD is another project to produce a reduced versions + of FreeBSD to put it on a Compact Flash card or other mass + storage.

    • + It would be interesting to mention that NanoBSD is supported by the FreeBSD Project and is part of the base tree. +

  • + TinyBSD 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.
