If the binary blob was really the source file, then it's fine. For these so-called "GPLed" binaries, we should ask the copyright holders if they were *really* written as binary blobs. If they say "yes", let's believe them. If they say "no", then the binaries are undistributable.
Aye to that. This is basically the same I said in the -legal list: as far as we know, the { 0x... } are magic numbers and this can be the "preferred form for modification".
