What is BSD?

BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) refers to a family of Unix-like operating systems descended from the original Unix developed at Bell Labs. BSD is known for its permissive licensing, which allows users to freely use, distribute, and modify the code. It's commonly used as a base for other operating systems (like macOS), in embedded systems, and as server operating systems due to its stability and security.
