A few hours ago, Sun announced on
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/source/
the availability of the Solaris 8 source code.
You may get the sources via the internet but you need
to print/fill/fax the license aggreement first to get
a license number (whithin 72 hours).
If I understand the license correctly, modifications must
be put on the Sun web server to prevent sharing with
non-licensees.
The source is in ZIP :-( Format and 183.42 MB in size
so I expect that many parts are missing because they are
not owned by Sun.
As I have no fax at home it seems that I would not be able
to get access before wednesday :-(
