I expect they want to be FreeBSD. In particular, they are not Linux, and have no need to be Linux, if that's what you're getting at. Certainly I do get a certain amount of Solaris feel from them; they ripped a decent amount of tech out of OpenSolaris (yay dtrace and ZFS) and BSDs were always structured more like Solaris than most Linux distros (base system separate from packages, base system created by installing multiple sets/consolidations), but they're their own thing.

EDIT: Oh, and I would expect BSDs to feel a lot more like traditional unix because they're direct descendants of UNIX™, unlike the later clones like GNU/Linux.

SunOS was a BSD before it turned into Solaris, a System V
