I was just showing my irritation at not making the patched sources "readily" available. Both their driver and OpenVPN.exe are based on GPLv2 sources and they do have a license link with an email address to contact for sources subject to GPL. Technically they could even ask for a postal address and a nominal fee for a CD or DVD to be sent by snail mail, but in this day and age I expect a url in plain sight where anyone can download the source or patches instead of having to send an email requesting for it.
