According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimOS , it was downloadable to anyone, after you had agreed that you were a holder of a AIX 4.3.3 - license. 

There is no IBM standard copyright notice in the files, nor do the LICENSE - or license.term - Stanford-files, that is referred to in several files, exist in the IBM distribution.
