Source Code Legal Question

I would like to download some source code files that are used for FRC. These files are a part of Wind River, not wpiLib, but I have a Mac (and thus no Wind River). One such source file that I need is vxWorks.h (if you don't know what I'm talking about look in Synchronized.h and you will see the "#Include" statement linking vxWorks.h to wpi.)

Thankfully, I have found a place where I can get these source files, but I'm not sure if it is a legal for me to acquire them?

The main reason for my concern is the copyright declaration: "Copyright 1984-1994 Wind River Systems, Inc." At the top of these source files.

Does anyone know wether it is legal for me to get these files?

Are these files open to the public? Is the copyright expired or even relevant in my case since I am a member of FIRST?
