      That's not the Bourne shell.

      That's the Almquist shell, first posted to comp.sources.unix in 1989 as v19i001 to v19i008. was at the University of Washington.

      The Bourne shell was released a decade earlier, and was copyrighted AT&T work.

      No current BSD has the Bourne shell in base, because of the 1980s AT&T copyright problems.

      and have the Almquist shell as sh and has one of the Korn shell variants.

                        * The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!
                        * You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy
                        * You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.
                        * Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)

                        This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!
