I would be interested to know if there is any chance of getting a hobbyist
A/UX license out of Apple. It would be even better if one also got source
code, but I also have a hankering for an Aeronautical Pigs Aerobatics Team in
the RNZAF - pigs taken out of pig farms and taught to fly, of course -, and
that is far more likely to happen ... ;)

I would agree with Wesley -- not feasible at all.
From the FAQ quoted in the article, "A/UX is based on AT&T Unix System
V.2.2 with numerous extensions from V.3, V.4 (such as streams) and BSD
4.2/4.3 (such as networking, the Fast File System, job control, lpr, NFS
with Yellow Pages, SCCS and sendmail 5.64)." This is code in dispute in
SCO v. IBM, a.k.a. SCO v. Linux and Open Source.
According to SCO, it is System V.* code that was supposedly stolen and
used in Linux. I exceptionally doubt you can get that code released as
open source by SCO because that would kill the case. Additionally, I
doubt you can get free binaries, as someone has to pay the royalties
that Apple would owe SCO for each copy.

There's another take on the various favours of Apple Unix at
http://www.cfcl.com/~eryk/weblog/archives/000183.html
<quote>
Depending on how you count that is six or seven unices spread over the last
twenty years:
1) Unix for the Lisa
2) Unix for the YACC
3) A/UX
4) AiX
5) MkLinux
6) Rhapsody
7) Mac OS X
