Hi anapplegeek,
These source code sets are almost certainly subject to some license restrictions, SunOS 4.1.4 is property of Oracle Corp. The SVR4 code will also belong to someone, there were several vendors that produced variants of SVR4, I have used it on DG, Pyramid and Siemens Nixdorf equipment.
I don't think that there would be a problem downloading the source, I also suspect that were you to search the code and find the vendor - there wouldn't be a problem getting permission to use it.
But in a case like this I'd say it's probably better safe than sorry - ask the vendor. The worst thing that they can do is say no!
Regards
Dave
