Comment(by mmadia):

 Replying to [comment:1 bonefish]:
 > I suppose the intended use is for (L)GPLed software that won't be
 outsourced?

 Yes. My intention is for the build system to become capable of creating
 image files that contain all of its utilized sources. Those images would
 be ideal for distributing Haiku on physical mediums -- selling official
 CD's or even handing out cheap freebies at conferences. By providing all
 of the sources on the physical medium, we won't need to concern ourselves
 with providing written offers of source code nor responding to them.
 Though IIRC for GPLv3, we'd need to provide instructions in addition to
 the sources.
