I can't speak to the legal stuff but Solaris shipped with
Convergent/Lachman's TCP/IP stack. Briefly if at all. Then Mentat was
contracted to do a higher performance TCP/IP which was a bloody mess if
I recall correctly. Full of "fast paths" that worked around the STREAMS
shortcomings.
Sun would have been far far better off doing what you did at Stellar.
