386BSD was first released inside the University of California and the US 
Department of Energy in 1989. Major parts were released in the Networking 
II release that was labelled by University of Californa as "freely 
redistributeable".

Release 0.0 was made following to satisfy the obligation to the readers of
the porting series that an operational version of the code as an example be
available under the same terms. Release 0.1 eliminated many issues faced in
0.0 release. Release 0.2 never happened with inability of formal release
handoff to an institution. 

Release 1.0 formalized the <a href="http://minutepitch.valux.com/386bsddesign">modular environment</a> that was
intended for the final work with the University of California but released as
a <a href="http://jolitz.telemuse.net/386bsd" rel="tag">magazine project</a> instead.
