Having recently gone through the preliminaries for establishing
UNIX sublicensing, I can tell you what the answer is.  However,
I don't have it in writing; I got the information over the phone
from the people in Greensboro NC.

AT&T UNIX source licensees may exchange source code covered by
their licenses (assuming they're the same licensed product, not
different release versions).  They of course have to protect the
AT&T proprietary code from disclosure to unauthorized persons.

Since an RFS connection may be via a third, unlicensed site, one
would have to be more careful.  Also, some networks are essentially
broadcast and this too would be somewhat unsafe.

Binary distribution is a whole nother ball game.
