At some point, Unix V7M was rebranded as Ultrix-11 and pulled in a lot from
the BSD releases (2.9 or 2.10) to get TCP/IP
networking onto the PDP-11. I don't think DEC ever shipped pure AT&T
binaries. The V7M was a modified version of V7,
with most of the modifications in the kernel to fix a few bugs with buffer
handling, and also make it run on all the different
PDP-11 models.

All the sources to V7, V7M and the last Ultrix-11 version are in TUHS for
people to peruse...
