The source code for the extensions is found in, for example:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/tcz/src
..but maybe you were thinking we were out of compliance for another reason?

If you do decide to make a new distro, use Tinycore long enough to understand how it works, and incoporate ideas from Tinycore.
In particular the frugal installation. The operating system and apps are read-only, which greatly reduces the likelihood of filesystem corruption.

Hi crankypuss

I didn't say the sources for extensions was not available, only that they are not all packed into one massive file.
--- Quote ---keep using Linux but not contributing because of the risibility of the required license.

If you wish to compile and submit an existing program GPL program, just include the the source with the submission.
If you wish to submit a program you wrote yourself, decide on how you want to license it. If you go with GPL, include
the source with the submission, otherwise, you don't have to.
That should satisfy compliance on your part.

Apparently I misunderstood Rich's post where he said "If you are looking for a tarball containing the source for the 3500+ applications, there is none."
Thans Juanito.
