The source code for the OS through OS/VS2 R3.8 in available, including
the bundled compilers. However, OS/VS2 with every available SU,
Assembler (F, XF), COBOL (F, U), FORTRAN (G, H), PL/I (F) is not going
to run a contemporary application suite.

Sure.

Doubtful.

Illegal. Likewise for all of the current IBM compilers.
