Say what? If you GPL a program and don't provide source code, Debian doesn't even have the right to distribute it, since they have to distribute it with the source code and they don't have that. The fact that you are the copyright owner means that your sending it *to* Debian is legal, but that doesn't grant Debian permission to distribute it any further. Why would Debian accept something it's not allowed to distribute? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
