BSD Daemon

BSD Daemon is the BSD operating system's mascot. Many folks have asked about the BSD daemon's name. The proper name is just "BSD Daemon". A Walnut Creek advertiser wrongfully named the BSD daemon as "Chuck". He is sometimes called by the name "Beastie." The BSD Daemon is a Daemon (computer_software) and usually carries a trident to symbolize the daemon's forking of processes. The original design of the BSD Daemon was by Marshall Kirk McKusick. The current popular version of BSD Daemon is by animation film director John Lasseter. ==External links== *[http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/daemon.html FreeBSD's The BSD Daemon page] *[http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/index.html Marshall Kirk McKusick's BSD Daemon Page] BSD Computing mascots

BSD Daemon

I always thought his name was Speedy. --Jack (User:Cuervo) 04:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC) I asked [mailto:mckusick@mckusick.com M. K. McKusick], the copyright holder on the image, for his explicit permission to use the current image in this WP article (and the article on [http://ursine.ca/BSD the Jargon wiki]), which he gave, under the following conditions (verbatim from his response):

I prefer that the BSD Daemon be used in the context of BSD software.
So, provided that you let folks know that fact, I am happy to have you
use the BSD Daemon as you propose above. To the extent possible, I
would like my copyright information to be made available (for example
if you send it off to someone else). I enclose my general usage rules
below. And, thanks for asking.

(Under this was the text from http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/mainpage/copyright.html.) I'll let someone else figure out if there's still a need for the tag, or , or what. --Jack (User:Cuervo) 08:12, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
