Both BSD and Linux are Unix-systems, truw, but they don't use the same codebase. While BSD was written as enhancements of the original Unix and later replaced all parts with own code, Linux was written new from scratch. BSD support binary Linux-apps, because the BSD-guys have buoilt a compatibility-layer. All Unix-systems are somewhat similar, so it is often easy to recompile Open-Source-programs for another Unix. That's why most Linux-apps run under BSD.
