On: Porting Unix to the 386: a Practical Approach (1991)

[dvfjsdhgfv]

The authors explicitly said they want to build something more free: "We hope to see those interested in this technology build on it in both commercial and noncommercial ventures." And they did port Unix (Berkeley flavor) to the 386. I remember using it in the nineties, it was a great adventure. And its progeny FreeBSD is arguably the best alternative to Linux, should something go terribly wrong.

I was just clarifying the title, not casting any aspersions.

My first UNIX environment was System V on AT&T's 3B series. We subsequently moved to Sun 3s with BSD. I strongly preferred the latter.
