I don't know how much OCO there really is anymore, actually. The QDIO drivers are available now, and I think there's even a 3590 implementation. You could certainly get a Linux system, with networking, built without anything that isn't Free Software.
I suppose having source code that produces something that works in Linux is helpful to understand how it works, but I could not tell whether that's enough to implement the function in another operating system. Many moons ago I studied the lcs device driver to find the cause of a problem. I fear that when I had to learn general S/390 I/O from that, it might have made a big difference for the rest of my life ;-) Rob
