This is a re-release of the final version of the 4th Edition of Plan 9

from Bell Labs distributed directly by Bell Labs.

4th Edition was originally released by Lucent Technologies in 2002. It

was released under the terms the Lucent Public License Version 1.02.

4th Edition continues the development of the same ideas, but in many

ways represents the base of what most people think of as "modern" Plan

9 today. The ubiquitous file protocol, 9P, got its first revision, to

9P2000, which caused changes to many parts of the system. It also saw

the debut of venti(8) and fossil(4), which began replacing the

venerable old file server, fs(4). Authentication largely moved to a

separate agent, factotum(4). Updates moved to replica, and the wiki

was created. The original release notes for this edition can be found

at /sys/doc/release4.ms.

While this release is a recognizable ancestor of the latest Plan 9

available, it is still quite old, and this release is mostly for

educational and research purposes. The file protocol and

authentication mechanisms are continued in modern Plan 9, though, so

researchers looking to run this should have an easier time than with

all previous releases. This is a second release of the 4th Edition,

marking the final state of Plan 9 as distributed directly by Bell

Labs.

The only changes between this release and the original 4th Edition

release are the new NOTICE, LICENSE, and README files, and moving the

old ones. In particular, any copyright notices attributing things to

Lucent Technologies or Bell Labs, or notices on restrictions of their

use, should be read as historical; all such rights have been

transferred to the Plan 9 Foundation and released as open source.

Parts (notably, the fonts) maintain trademark and copyright to their

respective parties (such as Bigelow & Holmes Inc.) and were included

in Plan 9 by permission; those copyrights are unaffected by the

transfer to Plan 9 Foundation and remain in effect per the terms found

in this distribution.
