There are source leaks for quite a few commercial Unices floating<br>
around in various places. These are the ones I'm aware of:<br>
<br>
A/UX (0.7, which is complete, and 2.x, which is only the kernel)<br>
AIX 4.1.3 (most of the kernel and some of user space, possibly<br>
complete enough to build)<br>
BSD/OS (various versions, probably complete)<br>
DEC OSF/1 (1.0 and 2.0; these seem reasonably complete)<br>
DYNIX 3.x (several versions, possibly complete enough to build)<br>
DYNIX/PTX (4.x?; possibly complete enough to build)<br>
IRIX 6.5.5 (missing quite a few major packages and nowhere near<br>
complete enough to build)<br>
MIPS RISC/os 4.52 (possibly complete)<br>
SGI System V GL2-W3.7 (for the IRIS 3000 68K machines; probably complete)<br>
SunOS 4.1.3 (seems to be the complete base system)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There is (or was) a github repo that has Solaris 2.5, 2.6, 8 and 11 sources.</div><div><br></div><div>System III sources are out there, lots of copies, but they all appear</div><div>to come from the same root source and have just been repackaged.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

ULTRIX-32 (2.0, which has been confirmed to build by someone else, and<br>
4.2, which is also fairly complete)<br>
<br>
I haven't looked at any of these in depth, so I'm not completely sure<br>
of the status of any of them except for A/UX and ULTRIX<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>hpux has a lot of docs out there. And a lot of binaries, but little source.
