     @redstarfish @mwl GNU's parent was rms.
     
     The many BSD's are an entirely separate project derived from proprietary Unix versions, although rms play a part in asking some developers to consider releasing certain BSD's as free software.

     GNU/Linux has no parent! They were written from scratch.

     @sallyNULL Indeed, I wrote "consider releasing".
     
     Previously such was 100% proprietary, but he managed to convince some developers to make such slightly less proprietary and therefore has allowed for actually free BSDs like HyperbolaBSD to be potentially developed today.

     Not a single BSD operating system is free as of today. HyperbolaBSD is still a work in progress, and they exposed the problem with BSD licensing is worse than we thought.
