While I was doing some searching at the Zenwalk web site, I saw the
following notice posted there:

"Written offer of source code"
Parts of Zenwalk Linux products may incorporate GPL licensed binary
code. If asked to do so, anyone causing the redistribution of GPLed
binary code, is required to also redistribute the source code.
Therefore, beginning with the final release of Zenwalk Linux 2.6, the
source code of all GPLed binary code used in Zenwalk Linux products,
regardless of whether Zenwalk Linux has modified it, will be made
available in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the
GPL license.
At this present time, our internet based source tree is a work in
progress. However, we can provide a complete machine-readable copy of
the corresponding source code, per request, as per section 2b of the
GPL v. 2 , for a charge of no more than our cost of physically
performing source distribution, on a medium customarily used for
software interchange.
To contact Zenwalk Linux to request the source code, please send your
request by email to: axxium.zenlnx~AT~gmail.com
To read a copy of the the GPL "General Public License" you may follow
this link. General Public License version 2

I think that we should post something similar on our main home page to
cover our butts for past versions of VL. With the veclinux-current
directory I am working to ensure that our packagers get us links to
source code so that the source sub under the veclinux-current tree
will get populated correctly.
Thoughts, anyone? ;-)
Cheers,
John
