Well, definitely not BSDI, who closed down about 5 years ago. But you could try Wind River Systems, who bought them out before closing them down. It's not impossible; I have a complete BSD/OS 5.x tree somewhere which was given to me during my work on the FreeBSD SMPng project, which based on code from BSD/OS. I'm not at liberty to distribute it, unfortunately, but the impression I got at the time (2000) was that it wouldn't be too difficult to get code if you had a reason.
