If both machines are your own machines for your own use, you still have not
distributed it (unless making a backup copy would be distributing as
well), but I understand what you meant....and it is not the
definition of "distribution" which needs scrutiny, IMO.
The issue, as I wrote, is whether the human is the licensee as
per the GPL. In a legal sense, the licensee may be the company, not
the human.
