Caution should be taken with that, although parts of BSD have been
seen in the development hardware for PS4 it isn't to say that it is
BSD. Windows NT used to have a BSD network stack if my memory serves.

As for the OpenGL part, well Sony have the libGCM library for graphics
and the PSGL API, its build along the lines of OpenGL ES but optimised
for their consoles. So you cannot expect it to be standards compliant.

I would not expect a QPA for the PS4 any time soon.
