no he is not required to distribute it alongside, thats just the common way to do it because its often more convienient then dealing with requests;tl/dr davebaol should have released the source with ANY binary release, and can't disallow redistribution, so go ahead and post links to the betas (if you're uploading them as wads, that's a worse copyright offense anyway...). If you want the source, PM davebaol and become a tester. Everyone else, move along.
I think davebaol is right
the other guy did the potential violation
the testers have the right to request the sources, but are not obliged to do so
aparently no one did
as long as davebaol made them aware of the gpl, and did not denied a request he is im compliance
the testers have the right to distribute the binary only if they provide the sources upon request too
because he knows that no one of the testers requested the source, davebaol can tell that hey can not provide it
and as an result of that the download does not comply with the gpl
@Slowking
you'd better edit your post and remove that link since I've never released d2x v7beta sources.
It means that link is breaking GPL rules and this is not tolerated on gbatemp.
Be patient, I'll release it officialy sooner or later
If someone hosted those private betas somewhere on the net I'm not responsible for that.
From what I can tell it's actually you that is breaking the GPL.
Anyone who receives the binary has a right to the source code & also the right to distribute the binary and source code.

I hope this particular subject just gets dropped *hint hint*
back on topic, I can't wait for the next official release

No, he has no obligation to release the source. The GPL only stipulates that anybody who distributes binaries must provide source if requested. If nobody that davebaol gave the binary to directly requested the source from him, then he has followed the GPL. Anybody who has the binary is distributing illegally if they are unable to access the source, if they want to, then need to request it from the person who provided the binaries to them (assuming they have the source).
If he gave them the source and binary and they only leaked the binary then yes, it is them that violated the GPL.
If they only received the binary and leaked it, then it is dave that violated it.
Hogwash. Witholding the source is not a secret way of preventing GPL binary distribution. The person that distributes it doesn't have to be able to provide it, as long as they can tell you who to ask for it... and the person to ask for it is dave. We could play it by the book and contact everyone that has leaked it and if they don't provide the source we could get the FSF to sue them, then they would be forced to ask dave for it anyway and if he doesn't provide it the FSF could sue him too. But that is pretty heavy handed, don't you agree? Much better for everything to resolve itself amicably.
FYI...Now using WiiFlow r417a4 and MP3 is working again - not a cIOSx issue at all. Apologies for the waste of thead post space.Well, I thought I'd double check my statement here. It WAS correct at the time (as my save games on the 3rd of the trilogy attest), but it is no longer true now, on the versions I'm running above.Are you using the LoCAL release? Pretty sure that works fine for all 3 games for me, on cIOSX 7beta r417Wiiflow.Well, thanks for the advice and that. But I still would like to know if there is a solution as I read that many people do get it working.
BUT HOW???
It was working previously, on an earlier wiiflow/cIOSx. Going to try some regression testing to see what/where this was introduced.
Sorry for the misleading statement earlier.
I'm begging everyone, just drop it. This situation will resolve itself in a little bit of time, but only if we don't discourage davebaol by continuing on this discussion (otherwise there is a very real possibility of the d2x project being dropped). If this issue hasn't resolved itself after a few days or weeks then fine, bring it up again. But I don't think this issue should be the topic of constant debate every single day.
ROFL! Suddenly I don't like the law against committing murder. You best watch your back.I'm begging everyone, just drop it.

My issue isn't with forcing dave to release the source, just that everyone is making stuff up about the GPL I don't even like the GPL.
You best watch your back.
I was actually coming to this thread to ask the same thing. I currently use/have V7 Beta for everything but 249 and 250.Any idea on when a final version of v7 will be release.
I want to play with some of the nand stuff on usb loader gx but I don't want to install the beta stuff and than an official v7 gets released soon after.
If it's gonna be a while, (like next year) than I'll install the beta, but if a public V7 is gonna be release soon, than I'll wait.
