Description

There are several BSD's missing, including OpenBSD (probably the most secure OS in the universe), and other Unices (pl. of Unix) like the illumos family. Non-Unices like ReactOS which tries to be a free Windows replacement, Haiku, KolibriOS. Just browse Wikipedia for a more complete list.

At least, if you mention FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD should be mentioned.
Allow me to include GhostBSD, NomadBSD and FuryBSD which are desktop friendly/live takes on FreeBSD. OS108 for NetBSD.
The BSD's have a truly free license compared to GNU's ones (the GPL's) which are free, but with restrictions (hence restrictive licenses, versus BSD's totally free, as in a gift, licenses).

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's curated list and checking how operating systems such as FreeBSD are represented. Add at least NetBSD and OpenBSD alongside FreeBSD, then determine which additional BSD and other OS entries fit the list's scope; done means the selected entries are included consistently.
