I sure hope so.

The available disk space on my AT&T 3B1 has long since shrunk past the point
where I can afford to keep all source code on-line.  Compiling gcc is a
particularly hateful process since I have to back off a lot to floppy disk
just to be able to load it.

I also am not advocating violation of the copyleft -- having the source
readily available on a better endowed machine is nice.
