FreeBSD is a direct descendent of a planned 0.5 interim release of 386BSD. It was released as FreeBSD when Bill Jolitz denied the use of the 386BSD trademark in order to prevent the release, and backed out of the agreement whereby the 0.5 interim release was being prepared. The denial came about as a result of a firestorm on Usenet, touched off by Lynne Jolitz. As a derivative work of 386BSD 0.1, FreeBSD can properly be said to have existed as long as 386BSD existed, even though the 2.x code branch is 4.4BSD-Lite derived and contains no 386BSD code. In other words, FreeBSD dates to 1991. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
