I dunno, I usually download it, buy the powerpack, and then the powerpack sits there shrinkwrapped because I've already downloaded a copy of all of contrib and never find I need the commercial stuff. I still have a club membership and buy the powerpacks... I suppose I might not be typical, but regardless, kernel-sources doesn't seem like a real "ooh, i gotta go pay my 70 bucks right now" sort of item, it's more like an oversight. Rob
