Note that all sources (including tarballs of git checkouts) used to
build the binaries on downloads.freesmartphone.org are available in the
sources directory, as described at http://downloads.freesmartphone.org ...

This must be true of any autobuilder that deals with GPL'd code - either
the sources are available for every single package built, or a written
offer valid for three years to provide such sources accompanies the
binaries.
