BSD100

BSD100 is not a widely recognized term within the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) family of operating systems. There is no official project, release, or standard that carries the BSD100 name, and no authority within the BSD communities maintains a project by that label. Because of its informal status, BSD100 can appear in various, unrelated contexts rather than referring to a single, canonical entity.

In practice, the label may be used as an internal codename, a commemorative concept, or a misnomer in discussions outside of formal BSD documentation. Without a specific source, it is difficult to determine its intended meaning, scope, or governance. Users encountering the term should seek context from the surrounding material, repository, or project maintainers.

Within the BSD ecosystem, well-defined projects include FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, each with its own release cycle and versioning. None uses BSD100 as part of its official branding or release nomenclature. If BSD100 appears in a release note or technical document, it may refer to something other than a BSD project, such as an internal milestone or a separate initiative unrelated to the core BSDs.

For accurate understanding, verify the source, author, and purpose of the term. Absent authoritative documentation, BSD100 should be treated as ambiguous.
