I'm not sure if this is the case but maybe Mandrake only supply the source code
to packages they modify? For the packages that aren't modified (ie. only
recompiled to i586 form) then the source code to the RedHat versions would be
just as good, available at any RedHat mirror. I haven't read it in a while,
what does the GPL say about distribution without modification?
