What happens if those sources go away? You immediately violate the
GPL if/when that happens. >>
I understand the reasons for these requirements, but IMHO they are
unnecessarily burdensome for the case of packages which come from mirrors of
ftp.gnu.org, where we have reasonable assurance they may always be found
easily. In addition, if someone wants the source, they may also wish to be
checking for a more up to date version, so they will need to go to the gnu
mirror anyway.
