OSF would eventually use the IBM SVR3 license as its

makes me believe IBM must have had a V7 redistribution license too.
Somebody like Charlie Saurer might know]. Anyway, IBM, DEC and HP all
shipped OSF 'licensed' systems although only DEC would switch to an
OSF/1 based kernel.

idk. As far as I know, IBM Austin did not get source licenses until
System V. Before Clay Cipione became the AIX development manager in the
AFWS -> RT transition, Austin did not have source licenses, as far as I
know. Clay insisted that we have source.
It is plausible that Don Rozenberg had V7 license at Yorktown and/or
ACIS had V7 license for BSD stuff.
I'm blind copying Clay and another AIX alumnus that might know for sure.
