If you want to resell the ISO images provided by freebsd.org on the ftp site I think there is a README file there that gives permission. If you want to resell the additional CD images sold by e.g. freebsdmall.com then you'd need to obtain permission from them, since they own the compilation copyright. If you want to construct your own additional CD images then you can do that any way you like. The only thing to be aware of is that some packages available on the ftp site may not be sold, according to the license terms provided by the original authors.

You're completely free to do that. So long as you preserve the copyright on the original FreeBSD files, and the other hardly more onerous duties laid on you by the terms of http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html Note however that various parts are licensed under other terms, such as the GPL, which impose more stringent requirements. There's nothing however that prevents your branching the code to make your own distribution. > This would be non-commercial but is it possible to do a commercial > version as well? Even for commercial purposes. Nokia's IPSO operating system which they use in some of their network appliances is either a branch from FreeBSD 2.x, or a derivative of NetBSD -- it's not clear to me which, as various web and usenet articles make competing claims. Unfortunately Nokia's own site http://www.nokia.com/cda1?id=162 doesn't see fit to acknowledge the provenance of the technology they are using. However, the point remains that whichever of the *BSD's they started with, branching their own OS for commercial purposes is perfectly legal and above board.
