Sun mentioned in 2005 that IBM was blocking the wish to make it OSS.
What I've heard from IBM at CeBIT is that IBM today would decide different.
But note that AT&T is (like Sun) only allowed to decide on code that only
contains Copyright messages from AT&T and/or Sun.

I haven't looked at V9, but the V10 manual mentions that the "more"
command is locally an alias to its extremely minimalistic "p" pager.

Interesting that they created a name clash:
"p" was the name of a pager on UNOS, the first realtime
UNIX lookalike from former AT&T employees.
BTW: "p" as an enhanced clone of the UNOS "p" exists in schilytools
since 1984.
