Yes. The source code is publicly available on a number sites. The
binaries are built using unmodified versions of the source code
provided by the copyright holder(s). AFAIK the GPL requires that
you make the source available upon request. If someone requests the
source code I will be happy to give a pointer to the source code on
another site, place it on a server on my own for downloading, send
it by email or burn it on a CD and snailmail the CD.
