There's a note on that page that some apps can now be downloaded from the marketplace, but it's important to realise that the marketplace app itself is one such binary-only app that you can't legally get unless it came with your phone.
There _are_ links to downloads of the google apps on that wiki, but I expect it's illegal to distribute them, and maybe even to download them.
The google apps have been included with the iso distribution of android-x86 - does this mean downloading it is illegal? Supposedly android-x86 is entirely open source - see http://www.android-x86.org/ - I wonder if somebody made a mistake including this stuff in the ISO. Unfortunately, nobody responded to my forum post, maybe I should open a ticket??? -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
