source code

[njuguna]

How do I access the source code for any linux distro for study?
Can anyone help me attain a printed copy of the linux GNU GPL? I've written several time sto the FSF with no reply.

The kernel source code is freely available, though often a separate optional package you need to tell your package manager (Yast -> Software -> Software Management in Suse) to install (it's necessary for some programs and kernel modules to compile). Once installed, you can look at the details of the package in the package manager to find out where the files were unpacked to.

The GNU GPL is included on the CD of every distribution as a requirement of the GPL. It's not ridiculously large, is there any reason you can't print a copy yourself?

If my knowledge is limited, forgive me, but is there a ready-for-print copy of teh license? Or, direct me on how to make a copy without violating any agreement if there are...
