Hell, I grew up as a Winblows whore, and I would never have thought to claim any MS produmb^H^Hct as utopia. Unless he's talking about the near brainwashing they do to get someone to buy it.
Personally, I wouldn't use a distro that made me get the kernel source elsewhere (I buy CD's), but in regards to a violation, I think that it should be fine if it is possible to get it somewhere, even if it means giving the users of the distro a URL for some other site. I'm not sure what the GPL says though.
Well, considering that there are 257 comments on this story as I write this, I'd say that a lot of people on Slashdot feel that it is worth debating. Most of the comments I have seen are well thought out. Like Roblimo, geeks are great at debating things that most people just react violently to. I feel that this most definitely belongs here.

Nice to see people giving more stuff to the world.
