That *is* how GPL works, and Tormach is doing that.

The new trajectory planner that's coming out in 2.7 was developed by 
Tormach and shared back with the community.

It's my understanding that anyone who gets their PathPilot software can 
get a copy of the source code simply by asking them for it.

I am no lawyer, but as i understand it this satisfies the requirements 
of the GPL.
