From your ITP:
* Package name : cavalry
Version : 1.15.0
...
* License : GPL
That's not an optional step. Presuming you give out binary copies of
your program licensed under the terms of the General Public License,
everyone must be allowed to access your source code.
However, as far as my knowledge goes, nobody saw a binary code copy
either. Hence you are technically not violating the GPL (yet).
Quoting <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DeveloperViolate>:
Strictly speaking, the GPL is a license from the developer for others to
use, distribute and change the program. The developer itself is not
bound by it, so no matter what the developer does, this is not a
“violation” of the GPL.
However, if the developer does something that would violate the GPL if
done by someone else, the developer will surely lose moral standing in
the community.
