It's available from a company called American Telephone and Telegraph;
last I'd heard, the price was somewhere around the $50-$80K US range (If
you're a university, you can get it much cheaper) but you also get the
complete source to UNIX as a free bonus.... 

In other words, if you literally want that source, it's part of UNIX and
you get a UNIX license from AT&T.  Somebody may have done a
reimplementation of it, e.g. for GNU, in which case that's probably less
expensive or free.
