I'd like to humbly change my mind on this issue.  Increasing the chance of 
redistribution is key.  Shrinking the CD size for burning and or increasing 
the number of "stable/working" apps should be high on the list of priorities. 

That being said, it should promenanty be displayed in the GUI that 'you can 
get the source... here, here, and here...." & someone had best be in charge 
of making sure those sites don't go down due to neglect, waning interest, or 
any other reason.  

Providing this access could be tough.  Does this exist for anyone now?
