Hello:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Free/NetBSD have _all_ their source
available.  No licensed code is included.  That tells me that the parts
that were missing from 4.4BSD were replaced with code contributed by the 
respective developers.  It's also my understanding that the BSDs have 
evolved from the original 4.4 source and are very dissimilar from each 
other now.
