I am confused as to how Chad is violating the GPL. When Chad shares his kernel, he does in fact share source with the same people who get the binary.
NOW if these others are sharing the binary without source (and yes, this is happening) - this is NOT a violation on Chad, it is a violation on the people sharing. Since day one, when Chad himself shared a kernel, he provided TWO links, one to souce, one to the binary. YES - I am fully aware that many many many people re-shared the kernel, some part of the "anthrax crew", while some were not. Since Chad has complied with ALL the parts of GPL (providing links to tool chains, binutils, source, and binary in the same message) - there is NO violation against Chad. Like I said, I am fully aware others have re-shared Chad's work without posting source - This in no way puts Chad in violation of the GPL, and NO chad does not need to honor "3rd party requests for source" since source was in fact given out with the binary. It is up to the people "resharing" Chads work to comply with GPL.
