You can't spell "based" without BSD.

Also, that's pretty much the main reason why FOSS OS are better than proprietary ones. They'll just say "okay, I guess we'll just stick to free countries" (while subtly gesturing at the nearest VPN).

Meanwhile, Windows and MacOS are going to fold like origami.
