Due to license restrictions, the original tar sources are not included
on the CD.  FreeBSD's ports collection mechanism will attempt to fetch
those over the net if a build is attempted.

Sorry, we'd love to put them on the CD but the authors of both kermit
and rzsz have made it more than plain that it's NOT allowed!
