It is derived from that, yes.  As is the FreeBSD shell

It would be a bit of a stretch thes days to say it (either) is
the Almquist shell, but they both still contain quite a bit
of Ken's original code, and certainly the basic design.

But they really aren't "the" Almquist shell, any more than
firefox is netscape.
