Any site on USENET can get net.sources (although some don't want it
because they can't afford the phone calls) and any site on the
ARPANET is welcome to join USENET.  (If you aren't running UNIX,
you'll have to write some software, since all the existing code
is written in C.  But you could whip something together that
didn't worry about running off a configuration table and was
intended for a leaf node pretty easily, if you rely on your
mail system for the user interface.)

However, I doubt any ARPA USENET site will volunteer to redistribute
net.sources via plain mail because if the fan-out is more
than 1 or 2 the load would kill their system.  But if some site
is willing, the information in there is certainly public.
