According to the August nextworld extra, the battle for the inclusion of
GNU sources on the 3.0 release CD has been lost. Apparently, they will
be made available by ftp at some unspecified time. I might add that the
excuses offered were pretty lame.

Could one of the 3rd-party CD offerings, e.g., BaNG, pick these files up?

Ask me again on Monday. I'm working on it. Please do not bombard NeXT with  
mail about.

Well, NeXT gave many different excuses, and 'lame' is far too
scintillating a word to describe them.  However, the unofficial excuse
was something like 'either we image the CD and get 3.0 out the door
ASAP, or we put the sources on'.  NeXT opted for ASAP (which is good)
and is cooperating to make sure the sources will be available for all
soon after 3.0 is released.

Just be patient...
