Beerware

Beerware is a tongue-in-cheek software license with permissive terms, which grants the right to do anything with the source code, assuming the license notice is preserved.

See MidnightBSD and Beerware

BSD licenses

BSD licenses are a family of permissive free software licenses, imposing minimal restrictions on the use and distribution of covered software.

Cat

The cat (Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is a small domesticated carnivorous mammal.

See MidnightBSD and Cat

DesktopBSD

DesktopBSD was a Unix-derived, desktop-oriented operating system based on FreeBSD. MidnightBSD and DesktopBSD are FreeBSD.

Fork (software development)

In software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct and separate piece of software.

See MidnightBSD and Fork (software development)

FreeBSD

FreeBSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).

See MidnightBSD and FreeBSD

GhostBSD

GhostBSD is a Unix-like operating system based on FreeBSD for x86-64, with MATE (previously GNOME) as its default desktop environment and an Xfce-desktop community based edition. MidnightBSD and GhostBSD are FreeBSD.

See MidnightBSD and GhostBSD

GNU Compiler Collection

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a collection of compilers from the GNU Project that support various programming languages, hardware architectures and operating systems.

Operating system

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

See MidnightBSD and Operating system

Personal computer

A personal computer, often referred to as a PC, is a computer designed for individual use.

Portable C Compiler

The Portable C Compiler (also known as pcc or sometimes pccm - portable C compiler machine) is an early compiler for the C programming language written by Stephen C. Johnson of Bell Labs in the mid-1970s, based in part on ideas proposed by Alan Snyder in 1973, and "distributed as the C compiler by Bell Labs...
