Comment (by chipbennett):

 I'm really not interested in generating or engaging a GPL flame war. We
 apparently disagree on the clause in question, and neither will change the
 other's mind on the matter. So, I'm just going to cut to the relevant
 comments.

 Downloading would give you the source code. 15 seconds of investigation
 would give you that.

 By ''source file'', I am referring to the GPL definition of the term: the
 editable file, not the binary. I see the source ''binary'' file, but have
 no clue which one is the corresponding source text file.

 Look: I don't know Flash. Those files are all Greek to me. Rather than
 condescendingly smacking your head on your desk, could you instead simply
 point out which one of those text files corresponds to the binary in
 question? If you'll kindly do that, I'll be done here, as at that point, I
 will believe that the concerns of the ticket itself have been satisfied.
