in reply to redistributing perl binaries

Perl is dual-licensed GPL and Artistic. So you should be allowed to release Perl-derived stuff + your additions as GPL, as long as you follow all requirements of the GPL.

Which means that you don't actually have to release source, but you do need to at least include an offer of source.

I hope this answers your question sufficiently.

    Hi,

    Which means that you don't actually have to release source, but you do need to at least include an offer of source.

    If I understand that right, a link to AS's sources should be enough.

    Correct me if I'm wrong else you answered my question perfectly.

    thanks a lot.

    Have a nice day.

      Whether you're wrong depends on what you are doing. Look up the the GPL and see what section 3 says.

      That says that unless you're doing a non-commercial distribution, you must either include source or offer it. (I don't know whether your use is non-commercial.)
