Aucbvax.4107 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Tue Sep 29 15:13:13 1981 the origins of fsck >From sdyer@BBN-UNIX Tue Sep 29 14:13:18 1981 Does anyone out there know just where "fsck" came from, and exactly what license (V7, 32V) has jurisdiction over it? WE has been no help in this regard--they say essentially that if a program's origin is suspect at all, then it can't be distributed to others (under a binary sub-license, for example.) But they can't verify just where "fsck" fits in.

People's comments would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I can get the name of someone official who knows the truth.
