The daemon book says that 4BSD was derived from 32V (officially, Bell
Labs' UNIX/32V Time-Sharing, System Version 1.0), V7 (Bell's UNIX
Time-Sharing System, Seventh Edition), and V6 (UNIX Time-Sharing
System, Sixth Edition).
It officially defines the term 4BSD in the following paragraph:
This memory-management work convinced the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) to fund the Berkeley team for the later
development of a standard UNIX system (4BSD) for DARPA's
contractors to use.
It uses phrases like "the Berkeley variant of the UNIX operating
system" and frequently refers to 4.3BSD as simply "UNIX".
And, of course, the title of the daemon book is _The Design and
Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System_.

Well, I, for one, appreciate the work you've done with procps
(although not being able to ps PIDs > 30000 was annoying). I'm just
beginning to explore the power available through the new options.
