There are Netscape LDAP SDKs for Java (3.1 and 4.0), and for C (3.0 and
4.0).  But, Netscape is now pointing to Sun for the downloads and
documentation.  And, I can only see the "iPlanet Directory SDK" for C
(5.06 and 5.08) and for Java (4.1).  Mozilla.org also has a Directory
SDK available from source, portions of which are in the iPlanet SDK
according to a README.

I downloaded the SDK over HTTP from:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/developer/5176.html

That may not help if you want the source code.

According to README.txt, it is under the NPL, but also covered by a
license that Sun wrote up:

        Any terms of Sun's license agreement covering this LDAP SDK which
        are different from the Netscape Public License are offered by Sun
        alone and not by any other party.
