Not likely, as the BSD family isn't just "unix-like", it IS unix. Providing a free unix is the entire goal of the BSD's. If they were to adopt systemd (which is windows-like, not unix-like), then the BSD's would lose their entire reason to exist.

Er, no. The goal of BSD was originally to improve UNIX, but they got in trouble with AT&T's when they tried to distribute it outside academia... or did you miss the whole BSDI vs. AT&T lawsuit drama?
In the end, all AT&T code was removed (so there's no "UNIX" code in the BSDs) and they are not certified by Open Group as compliant with the Single Unix Specification. So there's really no reason to call them UNIX.
Now with systemD (Score:5, Funny)
Just kidding
