Someone needs to do a recursive diff between 0.1 and 1.0. I wonder if they took any of the patches that were sent to them before everyone gave up and forked NetBSD and FreeBSD?
NetBSD and FreeBSD absolutely were forks of 386BSD, which itself was largely derived from the Berkeley Net 2 code base – Bill Jolitz just filled in the missing pieces.
(FWIW, I actually ran 386BSD, and later FreeBSD, on my home machine.)

What you "know" is incorrect.

There's a radio interview with the Jolitzes [archive.org] in which they describe how they got involved with BSD.
