Except the bit about you having to distribute/include the source.
Slackware have to make the source available themselves, even if it is
completely unchanged from ftp.*.kernel.org. They can do that, I can't.
If you wanted to distribute binary-only floppies you had created yourself,
from the source, would you have to distribute the source as well or not?
