Help! - My BSD collection
Hi people,
I am making small but nice collection of so smaller, useful and historic BSD distros at last 3 years...I didn't find ClosedBSD and BSD/OS to complete this collection, and want some help about that from you- to tell me some more about them and eventually to tell me where I can find them or to send to me. Thanks. Best regards |

BSD/OS was a commercial product originally marketed by BSDi, & later Wind River after acquistion. Wind River terminated BSD/OS in 2003, but this doesn't change the fact that it was a commercial product. The contractual agreements made during its life as a commercial product may prohibit the source code from ever being made freely available.
It you still want to chase this down, the situation becomes further complicated given that Wind River has since been acquired by Intel. Maybe you can find someone who is willing to part with the source, but it will be questionable if this can be done legally. |

ClosedBSD is a defunct project and no longer available, it's safe to ignore it even existed.
BSDi is no longer developing their BSD/OS, but it is still their product and not legally redistributeable. Finding either is going to be difficult, and, not worth adding to any sort of collection. |

Ok thanx on explanations. If I understand- BSD/OS is now something which calling abandonware- mean historical commercial, now not supported by publisher. I was interesting in license status of its source code but maybe it's not redistributable and how I saw source was more expensive than binary.
Someone talked about ClosedBSD as stabie security system and that born interesting to me to have it. Thanx once more. Best regards |

Most would simply call it a dead product.

Some 9-10 years ago there was a Russian-made OS RuNetBSD, which, as the title suggests, was a russified remake of NetBSD 1.6.1... and a very short-living one! Today its installation distro is nowhere to find and the name is actually reserved by the Russian NetBSD community (that has nothing to do with the RuNetBSD development team).
