Roger, I've asked that very question myself. ;)  As far as I know, the CP/M
sources have not been discovered yet.  Keep in mind that CP/M was
originally written mostly in PL/M....

If the source is discovered, the media may have decayed too badly to
recover, but if there is a chance of recovering it once found, I'm sure
Caldera will make the effort to do so.

I'm sure Caldera will release that source once it's found and examined.
