Almost certainly NOT a clean-room build. Almost 20 years ago, I
attended a seminar by the originator of NB. He said he had gone
to XyQuest, the then owner, and licensed the "XyWrite Engine,"
then started building on the bibliography and citation modules.
AFAIK, that continued to be the case when TTG bought Xy.
