When did the source get closed?

In the 1960s and early '70s the source for IBM OS/360, DOS.360 and the IBM supplied utilities including the compilers was available to educational institutions for the cost of the tapes. I did work on the DOS PL/1 G compiler and the OS/360 sort/merge utility while at university.
