Alcatel-Lucent releases source for 8th, 9th and 10th editions of Unix
The people complaining that this isn't free-as-in-freedom should remember that there's a lot of code in here that Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent does not and has never owned.  10th edition, specifically, was never 'distributed' and probably could not be because it contained gcc.  You'll note these archives are not even hosted by the corporation. They STILL aren't 'distributing' any of this.  There's no way to know a priori whether there's someone else's IP in here... the packaging method for these versions of unix was "Dennis makes a copy of a running system, including whatever happened to be on that disk."So, this is a kind gesture made for the benefit of software archaeologists.  Retroactively applying some kind of modern-hippie license would cost a tremendous amount of time and money.
