Under the GPL, section 2, subsection 3, second paragraph, it stated:
"b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to
be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
this License"
It stated the ALL third parties. It did not say that only give to the party
who received the binaries.
