| FreeBSD has similarities with Linux, with two major differences in scope and licensing: FreeBSD maintains a complete system, i.e. the project delivers a kernel, device drivers, userland utilities, and documentation, as opposed to Linux only delivering a kernel and drivers, and relying on third-parties for system software; and FreeBSD [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:sourcecode|source code]] is generally released under a permissive BSD license, as opposed to the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:copyleft|copyleft]] GPL used by Linux. | FreeBSD has similarities with Linux, with two major differences in scope and licensing: FreeBSD maintains a complete system, i.e. the project delivers a kernel, device drivers, userland utilities, and documentation, as opposed to Linux only delivering a kernel and drivers, and relying on third-parties for system software; and FreeBSD [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:sourcecode|source code]] is generally released under a permissive BSD license, as opposed to the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:copyleft|copyleft]] GPL used by Linux. | ||
