Hi Cole, > I think it's safe to say that most XDA kernels are distributed without > their accompanying source.
To those of us unfamiliar with XDA that sounds like speculation. Is there something on the site like a top-ten by popularity? Perhaps they could be surveyed along with another ten picked at random to see if the source is available. > I'm pretty sure, no - am /completely/ sure that if you upload your > binaries to a /publicly/ accessible place, that constitutes as > distribution.

IMO if I upload binaries to my paid-for space on a hosting server and they aren't available to others, that root can access them does not mean I've made a "distribution". Cheers, Ralph.
