Well you may be right! After investigation, it appears that I have at the
end of my TEXINPUTS a nice /usr/local/TeXlive/texmf/tex// :-) In January
my disk crashed and I forgot I used to have also TeXlive just for these
very details... :-)

Is there at least one TeX distribution planned to embrace all the
Companion's new edition? :-)

The history seems to be more complex:

\GlossaryPrologue{\section*{{Change History}}%
%                   \markboth{{Change History}}{{Change History}}%
%    Version 1.0 by Jos\'e Alberto Fern\'andez, Version 1.0a till 2.3
%    by Thorsten Hansen. Version numbers suffixed with characters have
%    not been released. Since v2.1, each new version has a `General'
%    item describing the new feature or the fixed problem,
%    and local items describing the changes of the code.} 
%
% \changes{v1.0}{1991/09/07}{Initial \LaTeX\ 2.09 version.}
% \changes{v1.0a}{1998/10/30}{The same cited item can occur in more than one
%    bibliography.} 
% \changes{v1.0b}{1998/11/09}{Auxiliary files are created only for bibunits
%    which contain cite commands.}  
% \changes{v1.0c}{1998/11/15}{Extra spaces are no longer introduced,
%    upgrade to \LaTeXe.} 
% \changes{v2.0}{1999/07/22}{Documentation.}
[...]

and in
http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/~howison/Hele-Shaw/bibunits.sty

I guess that Thorsten Hansen could choose some nice altruist license but
should ask José Alberto Fernández first that could...

Well, we used to be scientists, it's time to be lawyers... :-)
