  Please see my parenthesized remark.  Both Sun people and Berkeley
people have told me that the bulk of 4.3 changes were written either at
Sun and given to BSD, or by programmers actually loaned to Sun.  If you
know this is not the case please attribute a source to your information. 
I put the remark in so people could make the connection. I don't care who distributes it (heresy) all I care is who writes it, since that's who should be working on a merged UNIX.
