Not on the web site, I also do not see the gpl "offer" anywhere
in the firmware package.

They do have a "gpl code center" with downloads for many
of their linux-based products (and there are a lot!) but
this product is not there.  

I reminded them nicely, in a non-sgi capacity, to include
this code as well, let's give it a little time before we bring
the full wrath of slashdot down upon their heads.  ;-)

(p.s. the firmware image has what looks like a fairly full loopback
root filesystem, might be fun to hack around on a bit.)
