Kernelsources writeable for everyone?!

[Daniel]

Hi,
may be this was reported/asked 999999999 times, but here ist the 1000000000th:

I have downloaded linux-2.6.17.1 10 min ago and I noticed that every file is 
writeable by everyone. What's going on there?

coffee src # tar -jtvf linux-2.6.17.1.tar.bz2
drwxrwxrwx git/git           0 2006-06-20 11:31:55 linux-2.6.17.1/
-rw-rw-rw- git/git         462 2006-06-20 11:31:55 linux-2.6.17.1/.gitignore
-rw-rw-rw- git/git       18693 2006-06-20 11:31:55 linux-2.6.17.1/COPYING
-rw-rw-rw- git/git       89536 2006-06-20 11:31:55 linux-2.6.17.1/CREDITS
drwxrwxrwx git/git           0 2006-06-20 11:31:55
