On http://www.edv-bus.at/david/gnusolaris/download_page.ps you can see the Page where I downloaded it. As far as I can see, there is neither a link to the source nor a written offer. > Would you be willing to check > the CD for other GPL software and notify the authors if you find any? On http://www.edv-bus.at/david/gnusolaris/copyrights/ you can find the /usr/share/doc/*/copyright files as I found them on the ISO image. A simple check[1] in this directory indicates 265 packages claiming GPL inheritance. Amongst them apt, base-files, base-passwd, debianutils, defoma, dselect, python-apt and synaptic, which seem to be of particular interest to the Debian community. Additionally I have uploaded the /var/lib/dpkg/status from the ISO image to document the declared relationships between the packages. This can also be found in the http://www.edv-bus.at/david/gnusolaris/ directory.
