As I understand it, this was prohibited for 7th Edition and later by restrictions inserted into licenses for those versions. I don't know exactly how, as I'm not a lawyer. In terms of modern adaptations, there are commentaries for the Plan 9 (3rd Edition) source code that are similar to Lions, and the xv6 pedagogical system is accompanied by a similar commentary. - Dan C.
