V6 RL02 images. Binary or Source?

I've been sorting through some RL02's that came with a 11/23 system
that I bought at a UBC SERF sale a year or so ago.  On these RL02's
there is at least one bootable V6 system, apparently generated
specifically to be run on a 11/23.  This ought to be of some interest
to folks with real 11/23's with RL02 drives, as the other V6 systems
that I'm aware of don't have RL02 handlers.

Here's the question: this RL02 apparently has kernel sources in
the directories /sys/ken and /sys/dmr.  Does the presence of these
files mean that I can only distribute images of this RL02 to those
with source licenses?

A non-legal question: the system identifies itself as "v6" when it
boots, but there is a "v7.h" header file in the /sys directory.
Is this maybe really a V7 system?  Or maybe from an era when the
trnasition from V6 to V7 was being made?  Datestamps on the files
are from 1982.

For those who are listed, a log produced while running in single-user
mode from a copy of the RL02 pack.
Note that although the system was generated for a 11/23, it's
running on a 11/73.  The fact that it has more memory than "max" seems
to confuse the system horribly when it goes into multi-user mode.  Short
of doing a lobotomy, is there any way to get around this?
