Which is the oldest unix like free system?

Let one of the oldie's repeat a wise saying. Actually MULTICS is UNIX like because UNIX is MULTICS like. Check out MULTICS history at it's Wikipedia entry. But of course it wasn't free.

Sorry guys & gals, I just couldn't resist!
:p:p:p
 
Killasmurf, it wasn't free or opensource either. I was just giving a little history for Cola's book. :)

Free doesn't mean you don't have to pay for something. Yes BSD was free and the source was open. Forget about terms like "free software" or "open source", software was indeed free long time ago. At that time, you got the application as source code and you could modify and distribute it.

That was before I got interested in computers, but I do remember hearing something like that. Software was the "sweetener" they threw in to make the hardware sale.
