I don't have any problem with distributing the source code with
a product.  In fact, I'd rather distribute the source code.
For the same price as what a binary is sold for.

What I can't buy is distributing the source and binary
code *for free*.  There's the rub.  If he just said you
must distribute the source with the binary, but you can charge
for the binary, I'd buy into the philosophy.
