I found that the source to the cupwrapper package is available.  See 
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/
en/download_src.html#srccd_p2 and search for 7360.  Click the download link and 
you'll be asked to agree with the GPL before the source code is served to you.

As you said in another email, the source to the LPR driver is needed too. This 
does not appear to be GPLed and I'm trying to find the right person at Brother 
to talk to about getting that source.  Any ideas on how to speed this along?
