You would be correct. All of the BSDs and some GNU/Linux distributions
use Almquist for sh if not using a symlink to bash or dash.

In fact, the first release of Slackware in 1993 had sh as a symlink to bash.

I'm looking at the source code for the Bourne shell as included with
UNIX SVR4 (circa 1988) and it's obvious that the version which Sun
Microsystems/Oracle shipped with Solaris under the CDDL is a direct
decedent.

The license on the source code for the Bourne shell shipped with SVR4
clearly states:

"THIS IS UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE CODE OF AT&T"
