And therefore you conclude that no faculty did anything, since the
code
was written almost entirely by graduate students and employees?
Part of management has to do with delegation.

Actually, I am surprised that you fall back on that excuse; I was
expecting
you to say that the environment then was so different. The arpanet was
so primitive without the WWW, etc.  ATT code was not REALLY open
source, but
licensed,  whatever.
