Many distributions do not provide a source ISO to match their installation media. Debian provides one, as does Oracle. As far as I know, those are the only two that do that. Since the GPL requires one to redistribute the source code with the program, one needs to possess a copy of that source code [...]

Part of my big data project was the creation of a tool to analyze every symbol regressed on every other symbol for numerous lags. In addition to revealing the vendor’s mangling of data for unknown [...]
