We'd be happy to see a sources-only package on any distro, but:
1) we aren't quite ready yet
2) it MUST be a sources package--not binaries please!!!
As for the licensing issue, I believe that a sources set can be included in
your distro so long as it is just the sources (& the included VGA BIOS). So
tell them that.
