If it's licensed under the GPL, and no source is provided, then it can not be distributed at all, not even in non-free, unless there never was source to begin with. (I assume this isn't the case, as you said "no source code is provided", not "no source code exists".) A link to past discussions would be useful, to avoid repeating them. -- Glenn Maynard
