That's not how I read the GPL, nor its interpretation: > > http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesWrittenOfferValid Let's rephrase it: In a discussion with portmgr@, we decided to add the SRPMs to the linux ports, and write code to let the port build cluster fetch the SRPMs too. A normal build without PACKAGE_BUILDING defined should not fetch the SRPMS. This way we make sure the distfiles for the linux binaries are available on FreeBSD-project storage. I do not know if the SPRMs are on the release media or not, but they should be available somewhere on FreeBSD resources.
