Which section of the GPL does it violate? As far as I can tell from
reading it, you're allowed to make and distribute modified versions of
GPL'd programs; you just have to distribute the source code of the
modified versions. (For that matter, the stuff that was getting
trimmed isn't even source code, so I'm not convinced that it is
relevant, but that's another issue entirely.)
