    That line of citations just ends in a tweet quoting a copyright notice from the FreeBSD kernel. That doesn't mean the Switch runs FreeBSD, just that Nintendo used some code from the kernel, which could be as small as adapting a single driver to their in-house OS.

  It's not FreeBSD[1]. This is doubled up by the fact that the networking system module is called "bsd"[2]. [1] https://reswitched.tech/software/oss https://reswitched.tech/software/oss [2] http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Sockets_services http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Sockets_services
