There's a ton of it.  Sendmail is about 18 years old.  Many of the Unix shells,
especially the C Shell, are older.  Some of the pre-GNU components, such as
Emacs, have a comparable vintage.

Remember, in the early days of Unix, even ATT distributed full source, although
we would not consider it "open" by modern standards.  As a practical matter,
however, many academic environments worked on the Unix source, producing useful
things such as BSD.
