BSD
In 1978-1979 Bill Joy began the port of BSD to Vax Unix. This was known as 3BSD. In early 1980s DARPA funded further BSd development.
In early 1990s a lawsuit was settled between AT&T and UC in which opensource could use BSD-Lite as its codebase as long as it kept copyrighs and copyright credtis intact. Thus, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and etc are all based on BSD-Lite codebase.
