| No.  The source code from AT&T will cost you somewhere around $25,000.

  Hummm... the price for source with sublicensing (ie. you can sell the
binaries) is $20k, not $25k. However, for the faint of wallet, the
source code for on-site use is $3k. That is not a one machine license, I
really mean site license.

  I think the number is 1-201-522-6900, but my note could be wrong.
