There's two types of source distribution in the JDK.

* what comes with the release, in the src.zip file

This is the source for the java.* packages, and only
a couple sun.* packages (like sun.tools.debug).
Most people only care about this source.

* a separate source release, which is the full source
release, and is available after you sign a licensing
agreement saying that you're using the software only
for eductional or noncommercial purposes. Refer to

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.0.2/index.html
http://java.sun.com/nav/business/source.html

Since JDK 1.1 is just out the door, we don't have things set up yet
for the JDK 1.1 source release. I believe that is slated to happen
soon but I need to double check with the JDK program manager.

In any case, you can check out the source licensing agreement for JDK
1.0.2 since I believe the JDK 1.1 agreement will be very similar if
not identical.
