IAW GPL, all SRPMS are available on our FTP servers:
ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com (also ftp://ftp.cobalt.com and
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com). Yes, multiple servers are a pain to dig
through, but we are in the process of consolidating all SRPMS, RPMS,
PKGS, and ISOs to a single server...

The only thing that I think we don't distribute is some stuff related to
Apache, as we link it with RSA's BSAFE library, which we are not
authorized to redistribute.
