Source for Noise-4.6.0

[vn971]

The Copperhead OS repository has 4.6.0-1, and the source link points to https://github.com/copperhead/Noise

There are no sources for 4.6.0-1 to be seen though. Where can I find them? Or what is the issue behind this?

Thank you

The GPL doesn't require that sources are made available to the public. It requires an offer of source code and that it be made available to users upon request. For example, grsecurity is a derivative of a GPL2 project (Linux) but the sources are not made available to the public anymore which is not a GPL violation.

Rather than making a baseless legal allegation, you could have simply asked if we forgot to the push the 4.6.0 branch... which is now done.

@thestinger No hard feelings, the issue title was a question. I just had a discussion and forgot to properly re-word the question. Sorry.
Thanks.
grsecurity is a different beast in that it doesn't publicly share binaries (if I understand it correctly), and Copperhead repo does.

Regardless of whatever differences you think there are from that example, your understanding of the GPL is still wrong, and you came here making an accusation based on that misunderstanding.
