-------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
USL это то что получило права на Юникс после развала АТТ.
Вот от сюда http://www.att.com/history/history3.html
------------------
The changes in telecommunications during these years eventually led to an
antitrust suit by the U.S. government against AT&T. The suit began in 1974
and was settled in January 1982 when AT&T agreed to divest itself of the
wholly owned Bell operating companies that provided local exchange service.
This would, the government believed, separate those parts of AT&T (the
local exchanges) where the natural monopoly argument was still seen as
valid from those parts (long distance, manufacturing, research and
development), where competition was appropriate. In return, the U.S.
Department of Justice agreed to lift the constraints of the 1956 decree.
Divestiture took place on January 1, 1984, and the Bell System was dead. In
its place was a new AT&T and seven regional Bell operating companies
(collectively, the RBOCs.)
------------------
Т.е. разделение произошло за 10 лет до исков USL.

Как я понимаю, пролистав документы по ссылке по-диагонали, это имет
отношение к истории когда из-за иска USL в Беркли переписали спорные
участки кода. А первоначально Юник попал в американские университеты
гораздо раньше. Вот например как здесь сказано
http://www.users.csbsju.edu/~jgramke/Help/unix/unix/data/history.html
--------------
1974-1977
UNIX source code was distributed freely to universities (due, at least in
part, to US trade restrictions on ATT). As a result, UNIX gained favor
within the academic/research community and formed the basis for Operating
Systems instructions in the leading universities.
--------------
В зацитированной фразе словосочетание "US trade restrictions on ATT"
ключевое.
