Is *BSD a proprietary system? :o)no, any BSD should also ship with GNU tar. in fact, the only things you should find non-GNU tar on is traditional unix systems. Digital Unix, Tru64, SCO, Solaris are good examples. OSX, Linux, *BSD, HURD, and anything open source will have GNU tar. even SCO osr5 has GNU tar as an install option as well as solaris. since tar does not link to the kernel, it can run on litterally any system without license errors, like cygwin! and SkyOS and amiga!
I know BSD's come with GNU tar, it's just that I recall people running BSD coming in here with tar problems from time to time and sometimes the problem is that they don't have GNU tar installed. Of course they easily can get GNU tar, which solves the problem, but it seems not everyone installs it. Or maybe older BSD's didn't install GNU tar by default or something, I don't know.
