Steven,
	That's *exactly* the point ! ... there is no requirement or
obligation on me to provide you with source code for a GPL application
I've written unless I supply you with the binary. In turn, I can charge
whatever I like for the binary (the charge for the source must be
minimal if existant).

Does it make any more sense now ?
