the CD includes sources to the kernel on platforms which required NDAs
to get the information to do the port. part of the NDA, as i
understand it, required the sorts of restrictions on redistribution in
the commercial license. people have tried to get at least some bits of

Thanks, but I'm happy with the current tar files.
They are a working CVS checkout, so that
people who use them can then use the recipes
in cvs(1) [9 man cvs] to update their trees.
The one you linked to is not a working anything checkout.
