When I worked at The Wollongong Group they were quite specific that they

Possible - as I said ISC might have something also. But V7 was the first
generally available redistrbution license. It might have had a few tunable
things, but generally it was what everyone had. The per CPU terms was set
thinking a computer cost $150K-500K, not $1-2K.
I'll see if I can work that in.. Is that the famous '50 patches' or is
that something else?
Yes - the patch tape or 50 changes.
