to be clear the issue on amiga.org isn't so much binary patches, with distributing complete binaries with the patch already applied. for example if one releases a small patch for cybergraphics.library, it can only be used with people who have the original. whereas if someone releases a full copy of cybergraphics.library with the 'new' patch applied, they are distributing someone else's (commercial) software and would need permission to do so. see the difference?
