Many of them are included in the UNIX Version 7 manual (actually included by a .so instruction to nroff) in sections 2, 3 and 5 (e.g., stat(2) includes /usr/include/sys/stat.h). Now, as has been pointed out, the manual is protected by copyright rather than trade secret. If indeed trade secret cannot exist after publication, then these files can hardly be said to be protected by trade secret any more.
