We do not only ship complete systems, but also single packages o the ftp

This is wrong. Please read the license more carefully, especially point 1.
[which says something about the redistribution of source code] and point 3,
which says that binaries can be distributed under the terms of section 1 and
2.
See also my mail "Why we must ship at least some copyright licenses".
Thank you,
Marcus
