Excuse me, but doesn't the GPL only state that software vendors must make
the source code available, but don't actually have to distribute it?
Wouldn't it be all right good for a software vendor to tell the client,
that he can find the code for package XXX at ftp://ftp.XXX.net/pub/XXX?
I could be wrong about this. If so, good luck with your new venture. :)
