Skip Egdorf points out that the wording in question appears in the V7
manual, and wonders about V6. Well, V6 didn't have process groups, but
we find the sentence:
If the process number is 0, the signal is sent to all other
processes with the same controlling typewriter and user ID.
Furthermore:
In no case is it possible for a process to kill itself.
The manual page for kill(II) is dated 12/15/74.
