They'll probably speak up in their own defense, but I just wanted to say that I think it's unreasonable to request such things from the consortium. They've got more than enough to do eithout having to worry about contributed software and/or the overhead of making everyone and his brother a "special tape" (believe me, once they did it for you, a lot of other people would start asking similar favors).
