| Feb 26, 2019 at 7:47 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | The GPL defines source code as "the preferred form of modification". I think this is a reasonable definition to apply in general. Source code is the form in which you would prefer to make modifications to the program. | |
| Feb 26, 2019 at 5:39 | comment | added | KOLANICH | The license grants 4 freedoms, but no source code is available. Though FSF position is that access to the source code is a precondition for the freedom 1, there is a problem here: what is source code? Can disassembly listing or the source decompiled with retdec be considered source code? | |
