They aimed to produce a unified, multi-platform, production-quality, BSD-based operating system. The four founders of the NetBSD project, Chris Demetriou, Theo de Raadt, Adam Glass, and Charles Hannum, felt that a more open development model would benefit the project: one centered on portable, clean, correct code. The NetBSD project began as a result of frustration within the 386BSD developer community with the pace and direction of the operating system's development. NetBSD was originally derived from the 4.3BSD-Reno release of the Berkeley Software Distribution from the Computer Systems Research Group of the University of California, Berkeley, via their Net/2 source code release and the 386BSD project. Its source code is publicly available and permissively licensed. The NetBSD project focuses on code clarity, careful design, and portability across many computer architectures. It continues to be actively developed and is available for many platforms, including servers, desktops, handheld devices, and embedded systems. It was the first open-source BSD descendant officially released after 386BSD was forked. NetBSD is a free and open-source Unix operating system based on the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).
