IEEE & Open Group Okay FreeBSD to Utilize POSIX

The IEEE and The Open Group have granted permission to the FreeBSD Project to incorporate material from the joint IEEE 1003.1 POSIX standard and The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6.This step will allow developers of the FreeBSD Platform to gain a better understanding of how to write portable programs utilizing IEEE 1003.1, “Standard for Information Technology: Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)”.

The POSIX standard, which also forms the core volumes of Version 3 of The Open Group’s Single UNIX Specification, defines a set of fundamental services needed for the construction of portable application programs. IEEE and The Open Group have granted permissions for reuse of material covering over 1400 interfaces from the standard including the headers, system interfaces and utilities.
