Not exactly: it's counting everything containing "BSD" > as "FreeBSD". Ugh. I agree that this is misleading. How about we > change the graph legend to "BSD"? Without further explanation that seems still a bit misleading because "DragonFly" and "Bitrig" are BSDs, too. In fact, "DragonFly" is short for "DragonFly BSD" so even a graph legend like "platforms that contain 'BSD'" would be misleading for someone who does not know the actual platform strings. > (Unfortunately, we cannot > distinguish easily between the other BSDs in that graph, because we'd > have to re-import the archives since 2007.)
