John Lions happened to be one of my lecturers back in 1994, just before he retired. And he did use his book to teach operating systems to students at UNSW (The University of New South Wales). So those students did indeed receive printed versions of the notes (two volumes). And that is why the UNSW second-hand bookshop had original copies, which when I saw them, I was happy to pay the $5 or so!

For the fun of it, I scanned in the title page and a random page (p. 19) full of student's notes. The title page states "This booklet has been produced for students at the University of New South Wales taking courses 6.602B and 6.657G". Presumably as part of the licensing terms and conditions, the book has a serial number stamped on it: 7254. The companion Commentary has serial number 7253.
