I assume the SRPM isn't provided because the binaries that are
packaged are actually the ones that EDB build (and I wouldn't be
surprised if they're generated with BitRock InstallBuilder, so there
wouldn't be an SRPM anyway).

That aside though, the code must be 100% open source to be listed on
those download pages; Scottie, where can people find the spec files,
BitRock XML files or whatever?

Also, I took a quick look at the GIT history for the download pages,
and as far as I can see there weren't any links to these RPMs in the
past, so I'm not sure what has been removed exactly. Scott; can you
point me at the commit that changed what you're referring to please?
