It's not what _I_ need; it's the burden on part of the redistributor, to
satisfy the GPL requirements:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#UnchangedJustBinary

  I downloaded just the binary from the net. If I distribute copies,
  do I have to get the source and distribute that too?
  (#UnchangedJustBinary)

    Yes. The general rule is, if you distribute binaries, you must
    distribute the complete corresponding source code too. The
    exception for the case where you received a written offer for
    source code is quite limited.
