It's not a GPL violation or copyright infringement to modify
software under the GPL. It's not a GPL violatino or copyright
infringement to keep your modifications private to yourself.
Try telling Zenwalk and Mepis that
Both Zenwalk and Mepis allegedly *distribute* the code, they didn't
keep it to themselves. And they allegedly distribute it only as
object code, without complying with the requirements for distributing
object code. That's what allegedly makes them GPL infringers.
If someone wants to go looking for binary distributions, there are
probably some of the vmware appliances at
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/ that haven't properly
followed the strict GPL requirements to provide all the corresponding
sources.
