You can get a binary license for UNIX on the PDP-11/73 from DEC
but NOT from DECUS.  DECUS does have a C compiler for RSX though.
The DEC PDP-11 UNIX product used to be called something like
UNIX V7M-11 but the name may have been changed to ULTRIX-11.

You may be able to sublicense UNIX from an OEM, although they
usually want to sell you the hardware too.

There are some UNIX "look-alikes" available, and one of these may
keep you happy.  Every so often they are reviewed in one of the
glossy UNIX trade magazines.  I hesitate to mention any since I
may well inadvertently leave some out, but I will mention that the
first UNIX look-alike commercially available seems to have been
Whitesmith's IDRIS.
