Page "386BSD" Paragraph 1

386BSD was written mainly by Berkeley alumni Lynne Jolitz and William Jolitz.

William Jolitz had considerable experience with prior BSD releases while at the University of California at Berkeley ( 2. 8 and 2. 9BSD ) and both contributed code to Berkeley developed at Symmetric Computer Systems during the 1980s.

Work on porting 4. 3BSD-Reno and later 4. 3BSD Net / 2 to the Intel 80386 was done for the University of California by William Jolitz at Berkeley.

4. 3BSD Net / 2 was an incomplete non-operational release, with portions withheld by the University of California as encumbered ( i. e. subject to an AT & T UNIX source code license ).

The 386BSD releases made to the public beginning in 1992 were based on portions of the 4. 3BSD Net / 2 release coupled with additional code ( see Missing Pieces I and II, Dr. Dobb's Journal, May – June 1992 ) written by William and Lynne Jolitz to make a complete operational release.
