The source code for HP-UX is available and easily orderable from HP. The
problem tht most of you will find when trying to get ahold of it is that
the SOURCE CODE LISCENSE, which AT&T requires you to buy before we can
give you source code, costs approx $50,000. HP cannot give you even the
source for 'cat' without selling you the liscense -- it's part of the
liscensing agreement with AT&T. If you have a gripe about not being able to
get pieces of the source code for a reasonable price, gripe at AT&T.
