FreeBSD is a UNIX-like clone, which is indeed free, whereas UNIX is 
still the proprietary property of AT&T/Bell Labs.

To read more on freebsd, you can go to http://www.freebsd.org as well as 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD, that should give you sufficient 
information to move further.

You might want to at least go read 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO_OpenServer to figure out where SCO UNIT 
stands which is not AT&T/Bell Labs UNIX nor is it FreeBSD.
