The FreeBSD project has its origins in the 1970s as part of UC Berkeley's Computer Systems Research Group, evolving through various phases, including overcoming legal challenges in the early 90s. Founded in 1993, FreeBSD emphasizes stability and performance within an open development framework. Its governance allows for continual evolution, embracing new ideas without centering on a single leader. FreeBSD's philosophy is pivotal, encapsulated by the idea of 'Copy-Center,' urging users to utilize and share the software freely, maintaining its relevance in the tech community after over three decades.
FreeBSD is 'Copy-Center,' not 'Copy-Left' - you can go down to the copy center and make as many copies as you like, for whatever purpose you like.
What sets FreeBSD apart from similar open source projects is its ability to endure and innovate without a central figure leading it.
