You can by the source to SCCS and I believe that it does not a AT&T source 
licence. If I remeber correctly it costs about $2000 for source.  You can
find out more information on it by looking in the ULTRIX software applications
book.  This book is a compilation of software that will run on different
UNIX(tm) based systems.
