Browsing the load module reveals this:

5665-311 COPYRIGHT IBM CORP 1983,1988; LICENCED MATERIAL - PROPERTY OF IBM, 
REFER TO COPYRIGHT INSTRUCTIONS FORM NO. G120-2083

1983 was several years after IBM went OCO.

That, in turn was several years after they started to license and charge for 
some software.
