Sure, but that doesn't make it "Linux stuff".

Xorg is a fork of XFree86 which was originally The XFree86 Project, Inc. for Unix Systems, which targeted 4.4BSD.

Key part of the comment I initially replied to:

> FreeBSD lives outside of Redhat's influence.

And I am replying to your key part of the parent comment of: "Ish. Most FreeBSD installs still make use of stuff like Wayland and a lot of Linux parts."

One could say the parts you seem to count for being from Linux are Unix parts as they've originated from Unix, not Linux.
