I can't follow all the mails on this list, but just to distill the
discussion down: Is someone on this list claiming after Company X sells a
source+binary copy of some GPL'd software to Buyer Y, that, in the USA,
Buyer Y can then pass on or resell the binary (without the source) without
being bound by the requirements of the GPL?

Is that the essence of the argument?
