The primary reason for starting NetBSD at that time,
ironically enough, is that there was a perceived lack of
management in 386BSD. The actual 386BSD release only ran on a
handful of systems, and was quite buggy. There was a rapidly
growing community around it nonetheless, and many people had
contributed patches. However, 386BSD's leader simply
vanished. Nobody had any idea what he was doing, or whether he
was even looking at the patches or working on another
release. Eventually we decided that the only answer was to
make a go of it ourselves--that's right, it all started with a
fork. -- Charles M. Hannum He also met Chris Demetriou who told him that the FreeBSD
people "had already sort of started modifying their source
code very, very slightly, but they were basically doing a
patch kit. So they had the base source code that came out from
the Jolitzes, and they had a patch kit, that had at the time
about 185 patches, and it was impossible to maintain." Both
de Raadt aand Demetriou thought it was the wrong way to
develop software. "Everybody thought that Jolitz would become
- well, the FreeBSD people were still of the mindset that
Jolitz would become open and friendly and would want to work
with other people and create a community, but that was not
something they wanted. They were people who thought that after
this lawsuit was over, the University would somehow reform
into an organisation that would play with this stuff, and
allow us to get involved." -- Theo de Raadt Так что не совсем верно утверждать, что NetBSD была основана на 386BSD.
