Like debian-cd the tarball includes the isolinux.bin file taken from the
Debian package. (In this case version 3.61+dfsg-1)
It may be better to include information about this in the tarball, but I
haven't done so. You can access the source at
http://snapshot.debian.net/package/syslinux/
I just created http://alioth.debian.org/~jak-guest/README.source which
documents this. This seems to follow GPL.
Excerpt of GPL 2:
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
Excerpt of the GPL-3:
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
