what's up with http://www.sunfreeware.com?



Sun Admins,
As I am now only an occasional sun system admin, I had a
need to
access some older Solaris 9 sparc packages off of http://www.sunfreeware.com.
When I try to get a Solaris 9 package, I get this message:

=================
Support for these packages has been discontinued on
Sunfreeware. Please Visit
our New Website UNIXPackages.com

UNIX packages provides full package support
for all levels
of Solaris from 2.5, 2.6, 7, .... through to our *NEW* Solaris
11 SVR4 style
packages. Be advised that the packages on UNIX Packages are only
available
through a paid subscription service, as this new site is not
sponsored by any
third party.

=================

I understand that
Sunfreeware has a right to discontinuing storing
these. However, I see the
mirrors are
either are down or have the same message. Anyone know what the
story is here?
