    BSD is also unix-like. Quoting OpenBSD, “[OpenBSD] produces a FREE , multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system.”

      Nice to know, I’ve always thought BSD is actually UNIX.

      The BSD variants are descendants of UNIX developed by the University of California at Berkeley, with UNIX source code from Bell Labs. However, the BSD code base has evolved since then, replacing all the AT&T code. Since the BSD variants are not certified as compliant with the Single UNIX Specification, they are referred to as “UNIX-like” rather than “UNIX”.
