To set the record straight:

The original FM 5.0 was announced by Frame Technology on March 27, 1995,
and was released in June of 1995.
A bug fix release 5.0.1 was released by Frame Technology in October, 1995.
This was just before the finalization of the acquisition of Frame Technology
by Adobe, a process which started in June, 1995.
A bug fix release 5.1, already made by Frame Technology, was released by
Adobe in February, 1996, shortly followed by 5.1.1 and then 5.1.2 (in
April).

Version 5.1.1 was simply 5.1 re-branded as an Adobe product.
Some claim that 5.0.1 was the re-branded version, but that's highly
unlikely, since the acquisition wasn't really finished by then.

So, Adobe sold 5.1, but 5.1.1 was the first release to say "Adobe
FrameMaker".
