Hmm,maybe - but I was under impression that GPL does not specify that
source code must be available to *all or any person*.Just : If you have
got a binary then you could also ask for sources and you must have
possibility to download them or retrieve in other ways.
And you will got a binary when you .... pay for it.
Who cares about redistributing source code for free when he bought
source with binary ?

I hope Firebird addons license will not allow that (I respect developers
hard work).


Just my last 2 cents ;-)
