One minor data point - Ford Aerospace was using PWB (v?) in
1977 when I started working there. It was unusual for such a
large company to be running Unix at that time, which was one of the
reasons I decided to work there.
I don't know if the fact that Ford had the contract to produce
KSOS, the "secure" version of Unix, had anything to do with
the licenses they had.
