The BSD version is sort of very recent, for what it's worth -- FreeBSD imported a not fully functional version in 2017 and has seen more work on it in 2022: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/usr.bin/diff3/diff3.c https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/usr.bin/... , but the default version shipped is still GNU diff3 from ~2007 (before the GPL3): https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff3&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+15.0-CURRENT&arch=default&format=html https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff3&apropos=0&se... .
