I was talking about if you have made a program linked against a GPL
library and you _are distributing_ binaries, I thought you had to
distribute the source code as well. If your talking about LGPL you
don't. Of course you can have programs for internal use only.

A system that is secure because it is secret is not a good system, as
opposed to a system which is designed to be secure even though it is
not secret.
