A couple years ago, Sun released Solaris 8 source for free. The whole system is full of
SVisms, and AFAIK, the source remains 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.
