Bad example, since OpenSSL is of course NOT GPL'd, it's under the Apache
License which basically lets you not have to save it's source code for
three years. Of course they do provide links to their old source code
though going back to 1998, so I see no real reason to need to save a copy
of the unmodified source in that case. But yes for GPL code... haven't
we already come up with a solution that is followed with every milestone
release? Can this ticket be closed now?
