You can open any read-only file in Unix assuming that you have the read permission. Any utility or program that can get access to that file in read mode can open it, which would include programs such as 'more', 'less', 'vi', 'cat', etc.
Read-only merely means you can't change it; but you could copy it or look at it.

Can you open a file in read only mode?
All major operating systems allow developers to write code that can open a file in a variety of different ways, including "r" or "ro" (read-only) "rw" (read-write), "w" (write-only), and "a" (append, like "w" but starts at the end of the file, preserving the previous contents). In these operating systems, applications may choose to open a file as "read-only", which prevents accidental modification of the file by logic errors in the code.
