Subject: Should I get the AT&T source?

    The place where I work can get the AT&T souce for like $200 (.edu).
However, I don't want to be limited by this.  Will I be prevented
from writing in an OS in the future (theoretically?)  What if I don't
sign a non-diclosure agreement, but "somehow" gain access to the sources?
What are the implications of this?

Thanks
