They're also beside the point.  However, in order to stop bothering
you about it---since we obviously disagree about how important this
is---I'm going to ask again if you know anyone at Mandrake that I may
be able to talk to regarding this to get a clarification of what's
really going on (I seem to recall you're a representative, partner or
distributor for them, or do I have you mixed up with someone else?).

There's some doubt about whether or not giving someone an alpha or
beta of a work derived from a GPL-licensed one counts as distributing
it or not.  I think it certainly does.  Mandrake should not be handing
out compiled binaries without also handing out source code.

Because it often turns out to be the thin end of the wedge.

I'm interested in what's happening now.
