You are right :( It seems like I can't distribute the binaries created from the modified source. The license does not at all refer to binary distributions but I think I am in violation with the license here. This opens a release critical but on snns until that is resolved. If somebody from -legal agrees that I can't modify the source than we have to get this out of potato... > To me, it appears as if the software has been modified.
