The mere fact that you are distributing the software (usually the

No shit, Dick Tracy. I simply say that is silly.
And if the source isn't available then where's the attribution? At a
minimum, sounds like plagiarism.
Only if you don't know the meaning of the term.
How can not attributing source *which you downloaded*, and then choose to
distribute in binary *not*, at least ethical, require attribution?
