I decided to write this review to provide a quick inside to the new Linspire 5.0 released on March 15th, 2005. The review will determine the use of Linspire 5.0 in a SOHO (Small Office Home Office) Environment. The download was free for me since I'm a current CNR subscriber. UPDATE: Another Linspire review, and the Linspire 5.0 Live CD is now available for free download.

Yea from my point of view from reading through it about 10 times it looks like all the vendor has to do is provide the source in a workable format (A format that any person or developer can use to recreate the program or programs) The method of delivery is not stated in the GPL.
All it says is" You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's SOURCE CODE as you receive it, in any medium"
"to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange"
Sounds like as long as you offer it to people who get your software through legal means (Downloading or buying with your permission) you have to offer the source in a format that people could use for development. So you could offer it on CD, DVD, HTTP, FTP etc.
