La penso anche io così. Distribuendo compilati credo che infrangerebbero
la terza clausola della GPL:

========================================================================
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,

    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    customarily used for software interchange; or,

    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

========================================================================
E dato che non possono darti i sorgenti di una parte compilata
staticamente, non possono darti neanche il binario.... solo i sorgenti
che senza il pezzo proprietario non servono a molto. O meglio, servono
ad indurre qualcuno a scriverne un'implementazione libera....
