BSD predated the GPL and has made important contributions to the FOSS ecosystems like vi and the C shell. Also it is not an academic curiosity. BSD is widely used and supported by a lot of organisation. In fact some of the ideas for the "GNU system" have come from the BSD world.
It has. So put in a few lines and links about BSD in the wiki rather than ranting about it.
There is no need to attack people when proven wrong. If you go back and read your own posts in this thread with a cool head, you will see that you are belittling all other nonGPLed FOSS software as academic curiosities. I am not ranting and I cannot contribute this snippet to the Linux brochure as it is about Linux and not about BSD.
