The binary ones, not the source

• wongarsu 3y ago
  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.
