I am indeed talking about the binary, not the source. I have no intention

a larger, proprietary application. Would that mean I'd have to release
source code for the larger application? If so, that's a bit of a
deal-breaker, which would be a shame, since I'd really like to use bacula.
IANAL.
GPL & GPL2 licensing rules apply to GPL and _derived_ software.
If you have a proprietary system with GPL utilities on it, my
understanding is that you would need to supply the source code (and the
build environment for the binaries under GPL2), or make a written offer of
same for download (or upon request)
IE: Assuming you're just pulling in precompiled bacula binaries, then all
you'd need to supply is the source kit for those binaries from the same
site.
Again IANAL - speak to your lawyers to verify this.
(Hmmm, does GPL2 mean that the compilation tools for win32 binaries need
to be made available too? This could be a problem if they're not OSS)
