BSDs don't all use GNU grep anymore.

NetBSD now has a free (non-GNU) grep:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/grep/grep.1?rev=1.1.1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

OpenBSD has had a freegrep for 9 months:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/grep/grep.1?rev=1.6&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

And FreeBSD is planning to use a freegrep too.

(All part of *BSDs goals to allow reuse of their software in proprietary
products.)
