I don't know.  I'm not sure why it is there.

I don't know.

I'll let someone from Sun answer that question.  It is free to use, I 
don't know if there are any restrictions on use in commercial products, 
or any restrictions on redistribution/sale of products built using it.

Whatever the latest version is.

Those either come with the operating system itself (/usr/bin/ccs? 
/usr/lib/ccs?  it's been a long time since I did anything with Solaris) 
or are provided with the compiler.

I don't know.
