Whatever we do, I want /extremely/ clear interpretation of which ever
GPL distribution method we choose to use.  v2 3b/c are extremely vague
and I have severe issues with using them.  v3 is not exactly better in
this regard.  v2 3a is clear.  v3 6a is pretty clear, and would apply
to handing out media at trade shows or via free media.  v3 6d is pretty
clear and applies to how we do things today, except that it makes it
more clear that you can rely on some other party to host your source,
with the caveat that if the 3rd party goes away, you're still
responsible for making those sources available.  v3 6e clarifies
bittorrent like distribution in that using v3 6d for source in
conjunction with v3 6e for binary is OK, provided that you make 6e
users aware of the location of 6d.
