Debian implementa kernel FreeBSD
Nel suo percorso per diventare un SO universale, Debian implementa ufficialmente anche il kernel FreeBSD accanto a quello di Linux. Oltre a essere una base per svariate distribuzioni, Debian si sviluppa inoltre come fondamento per altri sistemi operativi. Da diverso tempo esistono varianti di Debian che non supportano soltanto diverse architetture, ma che offrono anche kernel alternativi.
Secondo quanto comunicato dal team domenica scorsa, il port FreeBSD di Debian è stato implementato anche nella versione “unstable” della distribuzione.

Francamente lo ritengo un errore.

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is a port that consists of GNU userland using the GNU C library on top of FreeBSD’s kernel, coupled with the regular Debian package set.
The GNU C library was ported to FreeBSD’s kernel by Bruno Haible.
Get started
The base system is fully functional. For installing Debian GNU/kFreeBSD and other useful information, refer to the install notes.
There exist several mirrors. You can use the base system in the tarball to fetch packages from it. Most of the packages in Debian unstable are ported and available in this archive.
How to help
There’s still a large amount of packages that need fixing. Luckily, because we use Glibc the portability problems are very simple and most times it’s just a matter of copying a test case for “k*bsd*-gnu” from another Glibc-based system (like GNU or GNU/Linux). Look at the porting document for details.
If you want to help porting packages, look at our patches directory first to ensure you don’t repeat already done work. (Please don’t submit patches from our directory, many of them are not ready to be sent.)
Also look at the TODO file for more details on what needs to be done.

nessun errore, anzi kfreebsd è solo un port nel progetto GNU, ma sono due cose ben distinte GNU/linux e GNU/KFreeBSD, hanno due licenze differenti.
GNU/linux usa la GNU General Public License
FreeBSD usa la FreeBSD License vedasi:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses
FreeBSD license
This is the original BSD license with the advertising clause and another clause removed.
(It is also sometimes called the “2-clause BSD license”.)
It is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL.
If you want a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, the FreeBSD license is a reasonable choice.
However, please don’t call it a “BSD” or “BSD-style” license, because that is likely to cause confusion which could lead to use of the flawed original BSD license.
ZFS non può esse implementato in GNU/linux per via della licenza sun microsystems
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses
Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL)
This is a free software license.
It has a copyleft with a scope that’s similar to the one in the Mozilla Public License, which makes it incompatible with the GNU GPL.
This means a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the CDDL cannot legally be linked together.
We urge you not to use the CDDL for this reason.
Also unfortunate in the CDDL is its use of the term “intellectual property”.
Noi come alternativa abbiamo con licenza GNU General Public License LVM ed anche quello di Tru64 chiamato ADvFS vedasi
