They couldn't sell it initially, but eventually--I believe the first commercial release was System III, around 1982 or so, based on research version 7--yes, they did. The non-commercial versions were "research Unix". And commercial Unix Wasn't Cheap. I bought a copy of System V Release 4 (SVR4) from Dell around 1992 or so at the then-unbelievably-cheap price of $1100. Loaded with goodies from GNU. And felt tickled to get a full Unix system at that price.
