Um, Public Domain is not equal to GPL - just sayin...
Also licensing does not equal availability necessarily.
If you can find someone who has this code to give you then I'm guessing that yes the gpl still applies and you are free to copy it, modify it, distribute it within the terms of gpl etc.
I don't think any license can force someone to keep something on a web server though. If a module has been abandoned for many years (beyond the supported versions of drupal - current D5) then why keep it on the servers wasting space.

Guess I am curious how something in the public domain could be legally removed from the public domain? I would think that would be in conflict with the terms of the open source license.

Class Class Assignment Class Journal Class Note Class Portfolio Class Syllabus
The code for these modules has been removed from CVS years ago. They are not maintained here. That doesn't mean they are not maintained elsewhere.
