He didn't say Sun had, he was just noting that SVR4 picked up the SunOS
implementation.  Who knows, perhaps they would have picked up the Apollo
implementation, had Apollo been smart enough to license it for UNIX
systems (the same could be said for a number of other aspects of
Apollo's systems...).

(Apollo, of course, didn't invent them, either.)
