NeddySeagoon ... that's probably/possibly correct, but they are not distributed with those sources, and so are a seperate instance of "distribution". In terms of the GPL, I would expect the "[...] give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program" would need to be covered.

Agreed. The purpose of providing the sources, is to allow the recipient to rebuild and modify the code, so sources need to be complete. _________________ Regards,
