BSD Fund

Tax-deductible giving for BSD-related projects

BSD Fund is a partner organization of the Linux Fund and provides funding to BSD-related development, events and travel. Its formation marks a natural expansion of the Linux Fund's past support of BSD projects as the OpenSSH project.

About BSD

Started in 1977, the Berkley Software Distribution or "BSD" family of projects represents quintessential open source software. Highlights include:

• The BSD Copyright - the original permissive open source license
• BSD Unix - the original free UNIX clone
• BSD TCP/IP - the de facto network stack that gave us the Internet
• BIND - the de facto Internet name server
• Pascal - once the de facto programming language for education
• vi - the de facto Unix text editor
• OpenSSH - the de facto secure shell
