Code associated with the TrustedBSD Project is generally under a two-clause BSD-style license, permitting broad open source, closed source, non-commercial, and commercial reuse. For more information on licensing, see Legal Information. Code available for download from the TrustedBSD web site is generally pre-release or experimental code, and not appropriate for use by end-users, who will receive TrustedBSD components from their operating system vendor directly. Comments on code, as well as on new features and bug fixes, are welcome.

TrustedBSD is developed in a Perforce repository, and is made available via CVSup server cvsup10.FreeBSD.org. A sample supfile is available. As features reach maturity, the are merged into the main FreeBSD development tree, and in some cases, have also been adopted into other operating system distributions, including NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Individual component web pages may include Perforce, CVSUP, or direct source code download options.
