You have to think globally. They sent those CDs everywhere.

  The binary ones, not the source

    If they sent binary CDs, the GPL forces them to also send you source CDs on request.

      That is probably the best reason these CDs were made — legal requirement. That requirement was removed in GPL version 3, where you could distribute binaries however you like and direct people to an HTTP/FTP site for the source. GPL 2 requires the same distribution method to be used.

    That's true. I must have misunderstood.
