The computer was designed at Stanford, and the name "Stanford University
Network" came about long before they decided to commercialize it.
They started with BSD 4.1, and each version of SunOS was an improvement
over its successor.
The Sun

this college acronym.
Stanford University Network
Is this from Bill Joy? Is he trying to make sure that
somebody else can be blaimed? Why would a bunch of guys
who'd been doing too much drugs at Berkley (it's obvious
when you look at NIS) name their company after Stanford?
Hell, even guys from Stanford don't name their companies
after the school -- the closest I can think is Cromemco,
founded by 3? guys who hung out in the Crowder Memorial
building, I think it was a dormitory when they were there.
