Well, you can run VM/370, and MVS 3.8j and OS/360 variants (MVT & MFT).
>From what I understand, they were "free" and "unencumbered" by any
license. I don't even know if they were copyrighted. But, if so, I am
fairly sure that the copyright has expired. And they can be downloaded
from the Internet. There is even a "turnkey" version of MVS 3.8j that
can be ordered on CD-ROM.
Of course, you cannot run any program products on these OSes (like SPF
is not available for the MVS 3.8j system).
