Today "open source" has been dragged through the mud and is a worthless
term.

GPL does not prevent such conditions being placed even on the binaries.

"The freedom to redistribute copies must include binary or executable forms
of the program, as well as source code, for both modified and unmodified
versions. It is ok if there is no way to produce a binary or executable
form, but people must have the freedom to redistribute such forms should
they find a way to make them. "
