'bout right... I remember in 1989 that BSD4.3 was beer-free if you had
an AT&T source license for UNIX Version 7 (which wasn't beer-free).
4.4 didn't come out for a couple of years after that, and 4.4lite (the
first version with no AT&T code, and thus DFSG-free) came out shortly
after.

Emacs is arguably not a UNIX editor. But the claim that vi is while
Emacs is Linux/*BSD is bizzare, considering that vi was written by Bill
Joy while working on BSD. It wasn't adopted by AT&T for some time
afterwards.
If you want serious UNIX editors, give me ed anyday ;-).
