   • A Brief History of FreeBSD. The FreeBSD Project had its genesis in the early part of 1993, partially as the brainchild of the Unofficial 386BSDPatchkit’s last 3 coordinators: Nate Williams, Rod Grimes and Jordan Hubbard.
   • FreeBSD Project Goals. The goals of the FreeBSD Project are to provide software that may be used for any purpose and without strings attached. Many of us have a significant investment in the code (and project) and would certainly not mind a little financial compensation now and then, but we are definitely not prepared to insist on it.
   • The FreeBSD Development Model. The development of FreeBSD is a very open and flexible process, being literally built from the contributions of thousands of people around the world, as can be seen from our list of contributors.
   • Third Party Programs. In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a ported software collection with thousands of commonly sought-after programs.
