Z:gnu-www-ja-linux-gnu-freedom--d75d9d-The presence of these binary-o/en

The presence of these binary-only programs in &ldquo;source&rdquo; files of Linux creates a secondary problem: it calls into question whether Linux binaries can legally be redistributed at all. The GPL requires &ldquo;complete corresponding source code,&rdquo; and a sequence of integers is not the source code. By the same token, adding such a binary to the Linux sources violates the GPL.
