  They can remove it from their website if they like, but it's too late.  As long
as I am in posession of a binary of a GPL'd program, I have a non-negotiable right
to a copy of the very same sources from which the binary I have was compiled.
There are no if's or but's.

  Of course, I Am Not A Lawyer, So Everything I Have Said Can Be Safely Ignored.
