I wonder if SunOS 3.5 could be liberated now that BSD is free.

I've personally thought that Sun should release the source trees of
its old BSD-based SunOS with the idea of getting back onside with
all the Linux and
Unix people it pissed off by its
"buying" a "Unix" license from
SCO, the Societe Commercial du On-Dit, the Commercial Society of
Rumourmongers.
Don't hold your breath. Even SunOS 4.1.x had large chunks of System
V Release 3 code in it: all the STREAMS stuff and RFS worked in that
environment (not that anyone ever used it). Also all of /usr/5bin,
/usr/5lib etc.
