Agreed.

That is a problem then, and we need to address it.

It's not the SF staff. It is the FSF.
Richard Stallman's explanation:
http://trends.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/07/15/0331201&from=rss
"Under GPL version 2, distributors who release binaries
through a network server have to release the
corresponding source code in the same way. This
requirement is the only way to assure that users can get
the source, and the that it is the right source."
Everyone,
We need to release source tarballs in the SF FRS with our binaries.
