Ahem. That's *buildable* OS source, which I see is now being delivered by
at least one of the varied "Linux" distributions, and has been the norm
for *bsd for quite a long while...
See "The Need for Vendor Source Code at NAS",
http://www.nas.nasa.gov/NAS/TechReports/RNDreports/RND-94-007/RND-94-007.html
for ammunition when you want to get buildable source code from a recalcitrant
vendor.

Oh, and I guess I need a ps: piecing together the parts *does* *not* *count*
Been there, done that.
