I wonder if the licence requirements are the deciding factor. With
the increasing criminalisation of copyright infringement worldwide,
users may need to show their local police or state agent that they
have a valid copyright licence for any copies. How can users do that
reliably if the binary distributions aren't reproducing the authors'
copyrights?
Puzzled,
