It's generally believed that it's sufficient to offer a source code CD at the same time you give away the CD with binaries, as long as you are prepared to fulfill this offer. > Or, if we talk about other distributions (which _are_ usually > distributed via CDs), do they breach the GPL? All distributions I bought so far had source code on the same CD, or came with separate source code CDs.
