It is!  Go ahead and call the number for commercial licenses at
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/distrib.html at the end of
the "To Order" section.  You will run into one Chuck Green and
he will tell you that Lucent is no longer interested in
licensing Plan 9.  If you really push hard, you will get some
absurd numbers (~thousand US$ per node) that have to paid each year!

And this is the old version 2 (Plan 9), not the shiny new
version 3 (Brazil).  For that one, I not even going to ask...
