Interesting model. Is the binary free to distribute? Even if it's not, someone will just make something like lunduke-free.com and put up compiled binaries.

- cmelbye 14y agoFrom the linked post: You’ll note that all of this software is GPL’d. Which means any Tom, Dick or Harry (or any other awesome name) can build their own binaries and distribute it on their website or repository. And I have absolutely no problem with that.

- ryanpetrich 14y agoAs long as all the source is his or has been contributed under a less restrictive license, he should be free to release the binaries under another license.
