Previously I thought that =E2=80=98Is The Analysis Different With Source-On= ly Distribution?=E2=80=99 somehow did not apply here, though I cannot remember the reasoning well (ma= ybe my reasoning was bogus?).

Well, it does not appear to be a GPL > violation, IIUC the SFC analysis. I neglected that the terms of the GPL that come into play depend on whether one is only distributing source code (*) or also binaries, and whether one = is distributing _modified_ source code. I don't quite see a GPL violation anymore if we only distribute unmodified source code. However, what about freedom (1) and (3) (freedom to [...] and change the program in source form and (3) distribute modified versions)? I was going to write something here about why that would not be (legally) possible because of the CDDL and GPL, but I forgot why it wouldn't be possible. Maybe it is actually possible? (*) raid5atemyhomework noted that guix does _not_ distribute source code, it only points to source code locations. I don't quite agree. From my point of view, on whose server the source code is hosted is merely a technicality, guix is just =E2=80=98out-sourcing=E2=80=99 the source code d= istribution. Besides, ci.guix.gnu.org keeps a copy of the source code, and (guix download) will try to download from ci.guix.gnu.org. > Thanks for taking the time to carefully review all the aspects.
