John,

You will want to look at
http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/coco/Disks/Operating%20Systems/
and
http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/coco/Documents/Manuals/Operating%20Systems/
for the original OS-9 disks and manuals.

There are a large number of disks where copyright issues are vague mainly because the holders are 
out of business and there is no entity left to argue over the copyrights. Archive maintainers do 
remove software on request of the authors.
