Link: Console Security - #NintendoSwitch https://youtu.be/Ec4NgWRE8ik #34C3 // Nice details on the Switch (which isn't running FreeBSD but a custom "OS")

The bullets are headings, not lists. The FreeBSD section is a massive concatenation of many licenses involved, which includes the gzip license, which just happened to be first.
Note that I never said that the Switch definitely runs FreeBSD (as a whole), I just speculated that it might (with a question mark). The social media circlejerk took it as a proven fact and that's how we got the FreeBSD kernel myth.https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/837481011508195329 …

I've quite often linked to your tweet to point out how it was a question, not a statement - people don't seem to care.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

right, and from what the guys that did the talk at 34C3 found out it is not (although maybe the kernel is BSD derived? But if so, that should show in the EULA, no?)

It's a custom kernel, not BSD derived, but it probably includes BSD code. This isn't uncommon. E.g. long ago I ported the FreeDOS FAT32 driver to PS2 homebrew (for USB storage). My PS2 definitely wasn't running FreeDOS though the license would apply.
