(since JohnMarshallCorrections.h also sometimes are included in
ChristianCorrections.h, I'll include a few comments here)

<URL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>

Paragraph 4 of the Preamble:

        "For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
         gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights
         that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can
         get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
         know their rights."

This means that the source _is_ freely distributable, and that it's illegal
not to make them available. The whole point is that its illegal to
distribute the binaries and not the sources. The GPL says a whole lot about
the topic, for example its not allowed only to make the sources available on
request, or by patches (diffs) etc.
