That's not true. GPLv2 text:
> Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code
(Emphasis mine.)
- mirashii 7y agoThere's two issues with that. First, that's only one of three available options (two for commercial entities) that satisfy the license. The other is to include a copy of the source code with the software distribution. However, separately, this does not require that the source code be posted in a public place for anyone to access. You only must give with the distribution a written offer. That offer is valid to anyone, but it doesn't need to be posted in public and the source code does not need to be posted in public.
