I just realized that OpenBSD unbound was likely named as a counter to ISC BIND. Similar to Sun Java and the Eclipse Foundation.

It is not really openbsd's unbound, it is nlnet labs unbound. openbsd just ships it with their operating system.

but yes it was made to avoid a bind monoculture. and comes in two parts nsd is the authoritive name server. and unbound is a recursive name server.
