As far as you're aware, exactly.
The problem is they don't have a disclosure policy in place, the only BSD distribution that cares about this is HyperbolaBSD, you need to go checking out their repos one by one to find the licensing nightmare that they are, plus plenty of binary-only software that is mostly part of the kernel, but still proprietary software nonetheless.
Hyperbola exposed how bad it is with all BSDs when they decided to switch away from Linux to OpenBSD, blessed they be for their job.
