Actually we have access to new sources via partner license hold by
FreeBSD Foundation.  But these sources can't be freely distributable
therefore we mostly stuck with sources code Sun released under SCSL.

Currently we are in progress of receving approval for 1.4.2
binary release.  Then we complete with it I will think about
doing releases from partner sources (more up-to-date, but binary only).
