Do you have a lawyers advice on that? A courts decision on that?
Yes, there have been cases in front of courts, where enterprises using
"binaries having been built from GPL'ed sources" without offering their
sources had been sued.
I think the question was aimed at my implication that the redistribution
of GPL'd binaries could not have additional restrictions applied
(beyond the GPL itself). Have there been any actual cases where this
requirement was challenged one way or another? I think it is pretty
clear from any reading of the license but most people focus on the source.
