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?
For various legal reasons FreeBSD pretended it was based on 4.4BSD-Lite for a long time. The NetBSD guys went as far as settling out of court and deleting 386BSD stuff from their cvs history. See eg. http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdwe... [netbsd.org]
It is better to never have tried anything than to have tried something and
failed.

Not forks of System V Unix, but of the various NET BSD releases Berkley made, at the end of the CSRG.
