Doesn't that phrase only apply to paragraph 3 of the GPL which covers
source code in case of distribution in object code or executable form.
Paragraph 1 allows distribution of source code "as you receive it" -
which IMHO allows source distribution in the current form. So I guess
distribution of source in main should be ok.
But is this distinction between 1 and 3 intentional and if so, why?
