Not available to the general public. Available to the relevant people in HP and Moravia, almost certainly.

I have no way to know, but it's highly likely that HP, and perhaps some employees of Moravia, have the 10bii+, 12c Platinum/Prestige, 17bii+, 20b, 30b, 33s, and 35s source code. Probably also the source code for most Saturn-based calculators as well, for what that's worth.

But they probably don't have much pre-Saturn source code. I mean, HP once asked ME for a copy of the 12C source code, which I didn't (and don't) have. As I understand it, they were able to track down a copy of the 12C source code, though more recently I've heard it stated that HP doesn't have "usable" source code for the 12C. I suspect that may mean that they don't consider ~6000 lines of Nut assembly source code to be "usable". I don't even necessarily disagree, despite that I do a fair bit of hacking Nut assembly code. Programming in Nut assembly, and even Saturn assembly, is much more difficult than e.g. C or C++.
