I'm curious, is anyone aware of any attempts to revise John Lions's UNIX
Commentary for versions beyond the Sixth Edition?
As I understand it, this was prohibited for 7th Edition and later by
restrictions inserted into licenses for those versions. I don't know
exactly how, as I'm not a lawyer.
In terms of modern adaptations, there are commentaries for the Plan 9
(3rd Edition) source code that are similar to Lions, and the xv6
pedagogical system is accompanied by a similar commentary.
