Well the new location for all this stuff is ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products
they do seem to be selective in which GPL software they put the sources for,
but I believe if you speak to customer services and lodge a complaint they
will respond and put the sources up - not quite the right way round but
better than nothing.  There was a fuss and some fairly strong complaints to
Sun with regard to this issue on another list.
