As many know the #ident tag in 'C' code was used with SCCS (pre-cursor to git/svn/cvs/etc) to create a string in the 'binary' which identified the code. In shell scripts it just sat there.
The change in the ident string where it gets the 'SMI' is when the version was from 'Sun Microsystems Inc' (aka SMI).
The reason Solaris included it was because it was part of the 'merge' between SunOS and System V and Sun had permission to all of the AT&T copyrights with respect to UNIX once they became 'partners' (AT&T invested essentially a billion dollars in Sun).
