It is absolutely required that *if* you distribute a GPL program in binary form, you *must* also distribute the source code. If Cypress is distributing binaries without source code, they are in violation of the GPL. The next step would be to carefully read http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html . In the case of gcc, the Free Software Foundation is the copyright holder. Note that the GPL does *not* require that you make source code available to everybody. It only requires that you make source code available to people to whom you provide the binary. In other words, unless Red Hat provided the binary to you, they have no obligation here. Ian
