Ignoring the difference between "requesting" and "requiring", it
_would_ be a violation of the GNU GPL, since the GNU GPL allows people
to redistribute binaries (as long as they also redistribute the
corresponding source code).
But since FSF and ACT seem to be on friendly terms, I doubt that ACT
is doing anything that isn't completely by the book, when it comes to
GNU GPL.
