| I recall somebody had posted a link to a program they had written on
| some Linux forum I was on a few years back. They released it under the
| GPL (cuz they didn't know any better).

| I couldn't help but notice there was no mention of the source code.
And this is just fine if the person has written the code themselves
and are not using other GPL-ed libraries. The copyright owner does
not have to ask himself for a licence to distribute, nor is he bound
by the terms of the licence he offers others.
