    To be clear, we will make available anything and everything
    we have to under the GPL.  The source is supposed to appear
    on ftp.cobaltnet.com, but occasionally an update is missed. 
    If something you need is missing, ask and ye shall receive.
    This is exactly what the GPL requires, and we do it.

    On the other hand, this 2.2.18C28_III is a bit of a puzzle.
    Our top of branch 2.2 kernel in our CVS tree is still 2.2.16.
    Even RMS would agree that the GPL doesn't obligate us to ship
    code we don't have for a binary we didn't make. :-)

    As for William's question, more information would be necessary
    to provide a better answer than Tim's.  2.2.16C24_III ought to
    suffice, but as with any kernel hacking, the devil can be in
    the details.
