Ah, yes, src.zip used to be part of the jdk1.1-dev package.  However,
I stopped carrying it when I reworked the package to build solely from
the blackdown porters' .tar.gz file.

I would strongly suggest check JavaSoft's website for licensing on
src.zip (and the jdk in general).  Looking at that file could prevent
you from contributing to clean-room implementations of a JVM (eg
kaffe).  Of course, if you never plan to do that then there's no
problem. :)
