This is a general, but non-politics, account covering everything from computer programming to supermarket meal deals; any politics will be taken up by @ JdeBP .

OpenWatcom vi is source available.

Ritter's Heirloom #vi is in #FreeBSD ports today, coming from the same place that it has for a long time.
https://freshports.org/editors/2bsd-vi/
It was dropped from #ArchLinux because it did not compile and hadn't changed in 20 years. Ironically, this is because the (GNU) C language had changed, and it has to nowadays be compiled forcing an older GNU C language version.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2285124#p2285124
Several people have independently discovered the Makefile patch that gets it to build on #Debian and the like.

#elvis, the precursor to #nvi, is packaged for both #NetBSD/#pkgsrc and #OpenBSD.

On #Illumos, Jov vi is in /usr/src/cmd/vi:
https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/tree/master/usr/src/cmd/vi
On #OpenBSD, Bostic #nvi is in /usr/src/usr.bin/vi/vi; #NetBSD having it in /usr/src/external/bsd/nvi; and #FreeBSD in /usr/src/contrib/nvi:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/tree/main/contrib/nvi
FreeBSD has an nvi2 in ports:

OpenBSD has elvis in ports:

Ritter's Heirloom vi is on SourceForge:
https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net
STEVIE was posted to comp.sources.unix in 1988:
https://sources.vsta.org/comp.sources.unix/volume15/stevie/
Unfortunately, Sven Guckes's vi Clones WWW site was never completed with some of this, notably lacking Heirloom vi, for example.
https://guckes.net/vi/clones.html
But it does mention oft-overlooked commercial clones such as Watcom's vi, a from-scratch implementation started in 1983 that is also now source-available:
