KP,
My interpretation of Stallman's comments leads me to believe those
sources are considered up-stream. I hope I'm wrong.
My interpretation: If you release binaries, you must maintain
source availability for three years. You may not rely on other
projects to do it for you.
SF has a project data preservation policy in-line with this
interpretation.

ok. I just wanted to make sure we had our bases covered.

Very true.
