Starting in the late 1970s, the University of California, BSD began to develop a series
of utilities and tools for existing UNIX operating system. Eventually this developed into a
complete operating system known as Berkley Unix, the Berkley Software Distribution or simply
BSD. Modern descendants of this operating system, including FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD are in
widespread use today. Additionally, because of the very liberal terms of the
BSD license,
source code from BSD operating systems has been used
Linux,
Solaris,
UNIX System V and its derivatives, and even Microsoft Windows.
Additionally, Apple's
Mac OS X, is based on
BSD.
