Wrong answer. If you distribute GPLed software, you must provide the source
or make it available, and you must show those who receive the software the
terms of the GPL so that they know their rights under it. This means that
the boy in Powercity has to tell me of my rights under the GPL when I buy a
Unison box. Pigs might fly . . . (and the way cloning is going, they may
well :-) )
