Hello
I wonder what the "designated place" in GPL means. I figured out OpenBSD is
distributing my Links binary and it requires a lot of effort for someone who is
not versed in the OpenBSD internals to find the corresponding source. Even if
you go to the main OpenBSD website, there is nothing like a clear link to the
sources - there are some FAQs that explain you how to download some
multi-hundred-megabyte source packages to obtain sources of everything in the
OpenBSD system. When I asked on the mailing list they pulled out some magic
ftp:// URL that contained the Links source.
I don't like this because I wanted to find a source for another package
(netpbm) and after some time of search effort I stuck helpless.
Does "designated place" mean the directory/HTML page where the binary is
stored, or does it mean the whole website?
