And even the GPL doesn't require you to distribute the source along with every copy of the binary. As long as the source is *available*, it's acceptable to distribute just the binary for convenience. For instance, on my Debian systems, I can say "apt-get install somepackage" to get just the binary, and then "apt-get source somepackage" if I want the corresponding source. IANAL, but I suspect it would be compliant if the same way of obtaining the C source code also gets you the unfrozen stdlib. So yeah, no licensing problem.
