Hehehe it does. But that's more a historical artefact as BSD originally started life as a distribution of UNIX.

We are talking decades ago though. Long before FreeBSDs grandparents, let alone Dragonfly.

edit: Wikipedia has an interesting piece on the history of BSD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution...
