The GPL is a contract between the author and anyone who wishes to 
distribute the copyrighted work.  It doesn't impose *any* 
obligations on the copyright holder or users of the software.

The only person who can go to court and insist the license is upheld 
and that sources are provided alongside binaries is the author 
himself - Consequently Helmut could quite reasonably ask us to stop 
distributing PTStitcher et al.

This is *one* of the reasons why a completely GPL alternative 
toolchain, with sources available, has already been created for 
manipulating panoramic images - You don't need PTStitcher.
