BSDites don't want their origins to be with 386BSD - which it was. It's a little like the Scopes trial, not wanting to be relate to a monkey - even if you are.
They stole code from Jolitz, replaced nearly identical modules that Jolitz did, as a way to hide the evidence. They run what he did down, make less and less of it, so it can just go away.
The reason is they don't want to be related. "Well, hey, it just sprang out of Jordan Hubbard's head, fully formed".
Back at the beginning, they didn't like the fact that Jolitz didn't follow ideology of keeping apart from Linux, which was very important then, pre-lawsuit. Jolitz never said why. No one cares to know anyway.
But they continue to erase history, as they erased code. People let them because who cares about history when you can clean up for ideology's sake, and keep the hate alive. But then BSD was more about antagonism than development, which is why Linux won. Still does. Still will. Idiots.
