Darn. I garbled. Delete the "don't". The terms of the GPL require you to give
source code to the person to whom you distribute the binary. And nobody
else. The copyright holder can sue for infringement but can't compel the
infringer to give the copyright holder a copy of the source code. He can
compel the infringer to give the source code to the person to whom he
gave the binary.

Hopefully this parses better.

	Thanks
