Actually, yes. It is so well designed and documented with a public interface that it has long since been defined away fron “whatever runs on Ken Thompson’s desktop.”

The most important fact about Unix (as versus Plan 9) is that Unix was originally distributed as a precursor of Open Source. I had access to Unix source code in 1981 in college.
