That's right, you're wrong. In fact, AT&T is a distributor of the
document.  As part of a Unix source license (for V7 at least) you are
allowed to request one copy. I have one. Pretty expensive book, if you
don't qualify for an educational Unix license and the book was all you
wanted. There are two volumes, a reformatted printout of the V6 source
code, and comments on that source code.
