No, I think it means `the sources for the MF fonts'.

Byron does have `the unix tex sources', but the ones I found were the
old ones (TeX 3.0 and MF 2.0), dated May 1991.

The new sources (TeX 3.141 and MF 2.71) are at

    labrea.stanford.edu  pub/tex
and
    ftp.cs.umb.edu  pub/tex

Now please, someone, post to direct us to up-to-date mirrors or
shadows of these two sites, before they get overloaded with requests!

And Byron, please update!  Karl Berry's change files do NOT work with
TeX 3.0 and MF 2.0 !
