You’re the one who came to an open source OS thread with no epic mount. BSD implies at least a +1 Horse of Ostentatious Virtues, so you can look down on the regular Ubuntu using high horses. :D

There appear to be a bunch of workstation unixes missing – similar to Sun and HP, like DEC, Apollo and SGI. I know there were ports of BSD for DEC as I used it in the ’80s on Vaxstations at Berkeley. I don’t know the origin of the commercial version I used a decade later.
There’s also probably an offshoot for embedded/mobile/RTOS unixes that aren’t based on Linux.

It’s not clear to me that Sony chose BSD for PS4/PS5 because of the license, as they use Linux in lots of their products, and don’t seem to have an issue sharing their changes/improvements: https://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/common/search.html

Open source, ei no planning ahead.
