I was talking about the relationship of copyright law to some distribution
mechanics.
The GPL allows distribution under certain circumstances, but those
allowances are mostly tangential to the mechanisms I was talking about.
I certainly don't see the GPL talking about the issue of shipping some
bits of a program on one day through distributor A and other bits of the
program on another day through distributor B.
