Berkeley Software Distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia BSD was widely identified with the versions of Unix available for workstation-class systems, a factor attributable to its use as an easily-licensed operating system familiar to the founders of many 1980s tech startups from educational use, the most notable versions being DEC's Ultrix and Sun's SunOS. The lawsuit slowed development of the free-software descendants of BSD for nearly two years while their legal status was in question, and as a result systems based on the Linux kernel, which did not have such legal ambiguity, gained greater support. DragonFly BSD is the newest of the BSDs, focusing on using a better SMP system than FreeBSD and making the kernel capable of natively supporting SSI clustering for high performance computing, although the project is still a few years away from achieving this goal and currently focused on the i386 platform. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/BSD   (2486 words)

Berkeley Software Distribution - Wikipedia Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is the name of the UNIX dialects distributed already in the 1970s from the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). By integrating sockets with the UNIX operating system file descriptors, users of their library found it almost as easy to read and write data across the network, as it was to put data on a disk. Like ATandT Unix, the BSD kernel is a monolithic kernel, meaning that device drivers in the kernel run in ring 0, the core of the operating system. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/BSD   (280 words)

Eventually, the systems that Berkeley students had developed for their research had replaced almost every component of the ATandT UNIX system, and in the early 1990s the full Berkeley source code was released to the public under the BSD License.

make BSD make, which is derived from Adam de Boor's work on a version of make capable of building targets in parallel, and survives with varying degrees of modification in FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. Most notably, it has a series of conditionals and iterative loops which are applied at the parse stage and may be used to conditionally, and programmatically, construct the makefile, including generation of targets at runtime. Where BSD make has a rich set of internal macros at parse time, GNU make typically encourages the use of an external macro package like m4. www.cooldictionary.com /words/make.wikipedia   (1442 words)

Unix - Wikipedia Once Berkeley Unix became sufficiently mature it was packaged as the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), and close to the same time Bell Labs began packaging ATandT's UNIX system as System V (five). Despite a fracture in the standardization effort resulting in the creation of OSF/1 which was used by only one vendor, the ATandT team released SVR4 in 1989 with Data General being the first vendor to use the new operating system on their AViiON server machines in 1990. By 1993, most of the original commercial BSD vendors including Sun and SGI moved to SVR4 as the foundation of their operating systems with vendor and BSD enhancements layered on top of the new standard foundation. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Unix   (1045 words)

Articles - GNU General Public License   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) The primary difference between the GPL and more "permissive" free software licenses such as the BSD License is that the GPL seeks to ensure that the above freedoms are preserved in copies and in derivative works. This ruling was important because it was the first time in the world that a court had confirmed that the GPL is a legally enforceable license. Many of the most common free software licenses, such as the original MIT/X license, the BSD license, and the LGPL, are "GPL-compatible". www.techize.com /articles/GPL   (3127 words)

Fork - PeakWiki OpenSSH was a fork from SSH, which happened because the license for SSH 2.x was "non-free" (even though the source was available), so an older version of SSH 1.x, which was the last to have been licensed as free software, was forked. Within months, virtually all Linux distributions, BSD versions and even some proprietary Unixes had replaced SSH with OpenSSH. The X.Org X11 server was a fork from XFree86 for a very similar reason as that of SSH and OpenSSH. www.peakwiki.org /wiki/index.php?title=Fork   (627 words)
