The people who need to know that "Get Source Code" information
are the latest migrants from the Windows world -- GUI only users.
These guys use "Linux" (1). They have no idea about how/what/why
about Free Software or the GNU/Linux project. This button will tell
those people "This is defintely Free Software".
I think this is a typical "knee jerk" reaction to the Morpheus's
attempt to evade GPL.

1: I call it GNU/Linux -- but currently was referring to the Redhat
"Linux" , Mandrake "Linux", SuSe "Linux" and Caldera "Linux".
