We were all aware of that Eberhard, since we all complained about that situation also. Many of us had hoped that would change after they got the bugs worked out of resale boxes. There are many that still desire a sources DVD to be included, but maybe SuSE didn't hear our cries.
I'm curious - I rarely use any of the sources, except maybe the SUSE-kernel. Why is it important to have all of them shipped with the boxed product?
Also for 10.0, a sources DVD iso was provided on the mirrors, which for those of us with broadband didn't complain. Many don't have the bandwidth to download a large iso.
That's partially what bittorrent is there for.
According to the GPL you want to mention, they, Novell/SuSE, have to make the sources available. I would hope it would come in the package we buy and if not, made available either by downloading
I thought they did do so too. I'm just now retrieving the inst-source tree from a mirror. /Per Jessen, Zürich
