[Fedora-legal-list] BSD copyright clause

Hello,

A GPL'ed project includes some 3 clause BSD licensed files. They include this 
line:

 * 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
 *    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
 *    documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

Is the term "binary form" referring to the tarball or a compiled application 
that uses the file? If it is meant to refer to a compiled app, how do people 
typically meet this? Just curious....

Thanks,
-Steve
