I'm sorry you consider it bitching, but I /do/ think that the source
tree should be included, because the GPL requires that it be made
available. That's why I'm not distributing disks myself.
I would suggest that you break this into sections, like SCO (only not at
$1500/section) of install, base utils, extended utils, X, games, gcc,
and source.
I was not upset when you stated your prices, although lots of others
seemed to be. You are entitled by the GPL to charge whatever the market
will bear. I /am/ upset that you seem to be violating the GPL in your
distribution, and I hope others will be, too. You are welcome to
consider this a "bitch about how it should contain the source tree"
should you desire. I consider it "let's all play by the rules."

I admit that when I was in school I wrote COBOL. But I didn't compile.
