The OpenBSD project was spawned from NetBSD (a member of the 4.4BSD |
|
family) in the summer of 1996 and is now developed completely |
|
separately. As well as developments by our development group, good |
|
changes from the other free operating systems are evaluated and merged |
|
into OpenBSD. We track bug reports and source tree changes from the |
|
NetBSD and FreeBSD projects fairly closely. Even pieces of code from |
|
the Linux projects have been used. |

|
In the early days of OpenBSD, it was possible to be able to say |
|
"OpenBSD is NetBSD PLUS MORE STUFF". Now, after the substantial work |
|
the group members have done, OpenBSD is very much its own thing. |
|
Too much stuff has been added and fixed to easily compare it to |
|
something else. OpenBSD is OpenBSD. |
