At least the 4.2 (file dated 7/29/83) or the 4.3reno (file dated 6/28/90) doesn't contain such comment. There's no copyright statement in 4.2, but there is in 4.3reno. 4.2 (& 4.3): --- 8< --- /* * Error codes */ --- 8< --- #define ENOTTY 25 /* Not a typewriter */ --- 8< --- 4.3reno: --- 8< --- #define ENOTTY 25 /* Inappropriate ioctl for device */ --- 8< --- -- Jussi Laako
