I'm not a lawyer, nor an expert of GPL. I have a understand of GPL,
witch I see validated here, but I cant say for sure that it is the fact.

No, I wouldn't buy those crap, and I didn't know anyone how buy it. But
in a discussion with the provider, he said that he wouldn't provide the
source, also not for regular users if they request it.

This is the second time this guy distribute sticks wich binary s and he
claim that he didn't need to provide the source. That is, what he
understand under the GPL.
