Isn't part of the GPL licensing an agreement that a distributor of compiled binary code holds a copy of the source ?

The git of git is about half a gigabyte which is the size of a bootable linux or BSD installation.

linux 4+ GB mariadb 3+, clang 2+, gcc 1.7GB

For those in the less developed non-gigabit nets it helps maintaining a local copy and updating .. BUT!

That's surprisingly large!
If you only want the current version and don't care about the history, perhaps a shallow clone would be more affordable?

Ever since the xz-->openssh-->systemd fiasco people lost confidence and trust on preconfigured tar-balls of a specific version. This is how the b-door infuser managed to pass his code. So many distros switched and started building from the source doing their own configuration.

The issue here is not how to solve an individual problem but how licensing should maybe address the issue, We have sums. signed releases, still once in a while we get discrepancies from upstream
