-The **Hyper Berkeley Kernel (HyperBK)** is a kernel which is being developed and maintained by **Hyperbola**. It is based on hard-forked code from different **BSD descendant** kernels (mostly from **OpenBSD 7.0**), as a **starting point for the development of the first HyperbolaBSD version**.+**musl** (pronounced “mussel,” sometimes “muscle”) is a C standard library (“libc”) implementing the interfaces defined by the ISO C and POSIX standards, plus common extensions. It was originally built against the Linux kernel’s system-call API; **Hyperbola** is porting it to the HyperBK kernel for HyperbolaBSD.

-**musl** pronounced like the word “mussel” or “muscle”, is a “libc”, an implementation of the standard library functionality described in the ISO C and POSIX standards, plus common extensions. Originally it was built on top of the Linux system calls API, but now it is being ported by **Hyperbola** on top of the HyperBK system calls API for HyperbolaBSD.+The **Hyper Berkeley Kernel (HyperBK)** is a kernel under development and maintenance by **Hyperbola**. It is based on hard-forked code from several **BSD-descended** kernels (primarily **OpenBSD 7.0**), serving as the starting point for the first HyperbolaBSD release.
