For example the macOS you use today, derived originally from FreeBSD as well. You could make the case that Apple is parasitical, but truth be told they do maintain quite a few Open Source projects that eventually find their way back into the community such as CUPS, etc. Oracle is probably a better example of parasitical to Open Source. Anyway, there are great derivatives of FreeBSD that constantly stay updated with the official source of truth which is the FreeBSD project. I do agree with you that I would wish that something like https://elementary.io would be based on FreeBSD and not Linux but that dream has not come true yet. In the meantime, I continue to use macOS on my laptops and desktops and FreeBSD on my servers. -- Alejandro Imass
