This is the information I couldn't get info for... As I understand,
you can eventually get COS/SCOPE/KRONOS, but I'm not sure about the
status of NOS. Anyone can clarify if it's possible to get some kind of
hobbyist license for it?

As I plan to contribute to Simh as a hobbyist solely (business needs
of my employee would eventually only help), I was wondering about the
PDP10 part. I'd love to see full stack of TOPS-20 running on Simh,
including networking, but there is a great KLH10, so it makes no much
sense...
