I don't think SUN wants to get trapped supporting public domain
software. Plus, this service is already provided by Sun User Group. You
can buy a tape with this kind of stuff, as well as a CD in the future.
The CD will have precompiled versions of the software they provide.

SUG has a direct link to the authors of this PD software and have their
help in supporting the software.

Read comp.org.sug for info on these topics.
