AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold : Comment 88 of 283 | ANN.lu |

It is IP theft to you, but thankfully not to the GPL nor to the law (also because there's no such thing as "IP theft", but I'm nitpicking now).
As long as the sources are provided on demand (which is all the GPL requires you to do, hence there's no "spirit breakage"), there's nothing fishy going on.
But YES, I do agree that it's not nice of one to take that path instead of releasing the sources together with the binaries, specially if there's no apparent reason to do so. |
