If FSUUCP's authors are using GNUUCP and are not distributing sources,
they are in violation of the GNU General Public License.

Check with the authors by phone or postal mail (if you can't reach them
by email).  The license specifies that either they must ship matching
sources with the binaries, or they must provide sources to anyone who
asks for them for a nominal charge.  If they are doing neither, wave a
club at them and tell them to stop.  FSF has never had to sue anyone
over copyleft violation but there's always a first time.

 The Gutenberg Bible is printed on hemp (marijuana) paper.  So was the July 2,
  1776 draft of the Declaration of Independence.  Why can't we grow it now?
