This page says that the kernel is based on Freebsd 11's kernel : https://www.playstationdev.wiki/ps5devwiki/index.php?title=Kernel https://www.playstationdev.wiki/ps5devwiki/index.php?title=K...
But the freebsd license isn't listed in this page : https://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps5-oss/index.html https://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps5-oss/index.html
So I'm not sure if the first page is correct.
For PS4, the freebsd license was listed here : https://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps4-oss/index.html https://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps4-oss/index.html

- niea_11 4y agoSony Visual Products (a Sony subsidiary) uses Linux (which is lincensed under GPL) on their BRAVIA TVs : https://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/TV/KD-43XE7000_v8902.html https://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/TV/KD-43XE7000_v8902.htm... Playstation is made by Sony Interactive Entertainment so they probably have different directives/rules
