To have a handbook that isn't a wiki or badly formatted amalgam of HTML and duct tape is a godsend. I have more or less a question about licensing and copyright pertaining to Section 1.2 of the FreeBSD Handbook. The second paragraph mentions AT&T UNIX® not being open source, but what largely consisted what was historically cconsidered "AT&T UNIX®" is all but nonexistent, instead effectively existing as the SUS/POSIX standard. It's my understanding that Caldera International opened the source code to 7th Edition Research UNIX under permissive licensing, and thus, as free software. What's the reasoning behind the Handbook still using this nomenclature? Is it for historical reasons, or as terminology pertinent to the discussion of FreeBSD as a derivative of the historical Berkeley UNIX, as opposed to a System V-style system? Again, thank you.
