Why do you distribute under GPL if you don’t want to distribute the source?


It's a 3rd part GPL program that I've modified and distribute with my proprietary software. The not wanting to is just because it's a bit of hassle putting together the files and information on how to compile it in a polished way. If nobody requests it, I can defer that work forever.


Maybe because they have to. If you are reusing GPL code, you don't really have a choice.
