BSD:
	Berkeley Software Distribution

	BSD-UNIX was the name of the flavour of UNIX developed at the
	University of Berkeley.

FreeBSD:
	When porting BSD-UNIX to the i386 platform, the name FreeBSD
	was choosen by the members of the team for the new OS, probably
	because it is an open source operating system which can be used
	free of charge.
