This one statement: "Berkeley stopped their distribution of BSD
systems right after they were forced to remove the toolchain." is
completely wrong. I just asked the people who were there, on TUHS, and
they confirmed my memory: DARPA funding for BSD support ended in 1995,
and that was probably the biggest factor in ending the UCB activities
in BSD.

I think it's important to verify claims with primary sources. Many of
those people are still alive.
