Comment (by filosofo):

 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
 code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
 disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
 License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
 of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
 may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

 That's section one of GPL 2.  Why would we take "each copy" of the source
 to mean ''each individual file'' as opposed to ''each distribution''?
