B for Unix, but it really depends on the distro, not all of them are open
D for Linux always
Windows and Mac are closed source
Linux. Durr.
Just Linux on this list.
There are many others too.
Linux uses a lot of commands very similar to Unix, were they copied?
D linux is Open Source Operating System
Of course Linux is open source. All of the answerers
seem to have gotten that right.
However, all but one seem to think that *only* Linux is
open source, but they are wrong.
The FreeBSD project has been around for a long time
(at least a decade, maybe two).
OpenSolaris has been open source for a few years.
See the references.
PS. While the full OS on the Mac isn’t open source,
you might note that under the covers, the kernel is
BSD Unix.
