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.
