Source code for "ls" is provided on the UNIX source distribution tape,
and is available only to sites that paid the appropriate licensing fee
and signed a contract that obligates them not to release the source
code to unlicensed sites.  In other words, if you're entitled to the
source code, you should already have it.

On the other hand, "ls" is almost trivial to implement.  Only the vast
number of silly options require much work.
