Richard Dawkins introduced the concept of memes, which are to ideas
what genes are to physical attributes. It is true that the genes
weren't from UNIX but the memes were.
P.S.
Idris had suid bit/mechanism. In their manuals, Whitesmiths
acknowledged and thanked WE for the use of the patent.
Can't remember if either MINIX or Coherent had it.
