They do a hard work collecting, compiling and packaging the Python  
distribution with some added modules. But anything you get in the AS free  
version you can get directly from the original authors; downloading  
pywin32 from sourceforge isn't so difficult...
And AFAIR, it took about 2 months the guys at ActiveState to release the  
2.5 version after it came from python.org
