Re: [TUHS] What was the first edition of UNIX that left AT&T

And in Salus later book, The Daemon, the Gnu, and the Penguin (which I published for him), he quotes Allman as using 4th edition at Berkeley. Allman also told me (for my BSD history book in progress), that when he got involved INGRES was running on 5th Edition and he helped with the transition to 6th Edition. Also McKusick's 1985 article "A BERKELEY ODYSSEY: Ten years of BSD history" says the version 4 tape was delivered in Jan. 1974 (and used on PDP 11/45) and INGRES was running the newly-available Version 5 of Unix in the spring of 1974 (on PDP 11/40). (Following from my book...) The University of California --- via the San Francisco Medical School Campus --- was recently licensed by Western Electric to use Unix. (Fortunately, the licenses from Western Electric were per-organization rather than per-computer.) So Fabry was able to get started with Unix much more quickly than anyone would have imagined.\cite{fabry2} % % NOTE: here is the license for it: archives/1970s/UC_License_4thEd.pdf % effective Dec. 1, 1973, licensee was the Regents of the Univ. % NOTE: it says for the location of School of Medicine % signed on Jan. 7 and 16, 1974 % 2.01 The license allowed use solely for academic and educational purposes. % 4.05 In addition, the University was prohibited from sharing the software --- including its methods or concepts --- to anyone other than the University employees or students. % NOTE: no version of Unix is mentioned in the license
