This isn't our situation. In our situation the source is being distributed
for those "binaries".... just not by us.
Not only that but this link is about binaries of _GPL_ applications /
libraries. That doesn't apply to BSD licensed libraries.
I don't see how linking in a BSD licensed binary blob can ever be a GPL
violation and it wouldn't be a BSD license violation as long as somewhere
they say that they were using libMesh (which retains the BSD
acknowledgement).
