While we do generate install binary-only install media, we also provide
equivalent access to the corresponding source.
For people distributing our install media without providing equivalent
source, this is a problem; that's why I usually distributed the
binary+source install media instead.[1] (Which apparently aren't made
for 9.0, so I'll just have to have a stack of source CDs again.)
