If you are talking about the GPLv2, I'll have to disagree. You are only covered by clause 3c when you have received the promise for source code as of 3b. But since Debian offers you access to copy the source code by the same designated place as the binary you copied, it has distributed you the source code as of 3a. Some people usually mirror only binaries and they are distributing as of 3b. I still usually recommend these people to include sources. If they do not have enough storage, they should remove some binaries. This way they are protected. That is the same recommendation you and some other people just did to this case. If you can't provide source code whithin three years of last distributing the binaries, you are in a bad situation. > Cheers, > Wol > -- > Anthony W.
